Dr. William Thompson experienced the medical world at an early age, and he decided to never leave it.
With serious illnesses throughout his early childhood, Thompson was exposed to doctors early on.
“As a kid, I knew I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up,” Thompson said. “Most kids say they want to be a fireman or something. But I wanted to be a doctor.”
Although he was born in Monroe, La., Thompson considers Yazoo his hometown. He arrived here when he was only a month old.
“My dad was an Army pilot,” he said. “I was a month old when he was discharged. We came to Bentonia, where I grew up on a farm.” -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
