I don't advertise it. I don't talk about it. My husband's career is his. And mine is my own. So admittedly, I don't know too much about the happenings on Fort Bragg. And since I am very proud of our military and want to write about all the good things… it poses a slight problem. Coming up with ideas for stories in this issue was daunting for this very reason. I scrounged up story ideas and in the edito- rial meeting it was mentioned, "Wow there's a lot more military related stories and not too many real estate." I patted myself on the back. (And we did even it out). Some of you know that we work ahead here at CityView. As I am writing this column, it's mid-April and the month of the military child. It's no secret that many children of our soldiers and veterans have decided to make Fayetteville their home for the long haul. Dr. Jerry Fonke, Murray Dug- gins, Judge Toni King and Suzanne Pennink are outstanding citizens and per- sonally, some of the most venerable people I have ever met. You may know them as local leaders, but this time I delved a little deeper. Even though none are affiliated with the armed forces any more, their love for our country and soldiers runs deep. facebook.com/cityviewnc The Military & Real Estate Issue
