Cynthia Leigh Welch is the new director of Ricks Memorial Library.By JAMIE PATTERSON
Herald Reporter
“I’m the only librarian with an animal and dairy science degree.”
Cynthia Leigh Welch laughs when she talks about the different route her college education took for her. But as the new director of the Ricks Memorial Library, she couldn’t be happier.
“In the library, it feels great at the end of the day to help people,” Welch said.
Welch, who grew up in Vicksburg, spent a lot of her younger years traveling. Spending most of her adult years in South Carolina, she was happy to return closer to home.
“I was ready to be closer to my family,” she said with a smile.
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.
