Protecting mountains, submitted to the Winston-Salem Journal by Romaine Poindexter
"I can't tell you how happy I am that the Piedmont Land Conservancy has bought 413 acres of Fisher Peak ("Peak Preserved," Dec. 30). My family has been at the base of that peak since at least 1774. It, and the connecting mountain ranges, are so dear to me. It breaks my heart every time I see a new house or clear-cutting on those, or any, mountains. When I win the megabucks lottery, I'm going to buy as many mountains as I can and donate them to the conservancy. I appreciate the inviolability of individual property rights, but there's also the concept of the greater good. I so appreciate what the Piedmont Land Conservancy is doing." Thank you, Mr. Poindexter; that is why we're here.
