With the impending birth of a new high school in the northern part of the county, I would like to suggest that we take a look at those from our area who have contributed their lives and careers to outstanding service to their fellow man.

I would propose naming our new school after Edward R. Murrow. Murrow, the legendary newsman, received five Peabody Awards for journalistic excellence. In addition, he also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest honor the president of the United States can bestow upon a civilian. Murrow was also "knighted" by Queen Elizabeth for outstanding service to the British people.

There are several good names that could be chosen; however, none is more fitting than Edward R. Murrow.
