Strong local leaders make a large impact
What a great tribute to Stanley Frank by Jim Melvin (letter, Dec. 27). I heartily agree. And there is more.
Enter the Guilford College campus off New Garden Road and see the impressive Frank Family Science Center, which includes the Joe Bryan Jr. Auditorium. Continue and view the Bauman Telecommunications Center provided by Ed and Vivian Bauman, who have also furthered the renovation of Founders Hall as a student life center.
Joe Bryan Jr., an alumnus of the college, is chairman of the Board of Trustees. Stanley Frank was and Ed Bauman is a long-time trustee, though neither was an alumnus. Frank was chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, and Bauman is treasurer and vice chairman of the Trusteeship and Governance Committee. All three worked closely with President Kent Chabotar.
These leaders have done so much to make our community a better place to live and raise a family. This kind of leadership is especially important now that Jefferson Pilot Financial is merging with Lincoln National, headquartered in Philadelphia, so soon after the loss of Burlington Industries, Cone and Guilford Mills.

Mr. Macon,
You are a prince of a fellow and I hope to get a copy of your book someday. Thanks for the great letter.
