doable program,” said Beck. “We feel our success in Pittsboro stems from not only the strength of the Curves brand, but our dedication to helping women get fit.”

Subject: looking for Bobbie Jean

Anyone remember Bobbie Jean, don’t know last name. In the mid 80′s lived in rental house with mother,Sheena, sister, Sherry and another younger sister at Jean Hudson’s place on Mt Gilead Church road. Dated her mother, didn’t last long. But Bobbie and I had a wonderful father daughter relationship. Know she got married, think moved to Sanford, think married name was Wimberly. Stayed in touch for a while but then went seperate ways. Have been searching for two years with very little luck.

Subject: Taxing Question

To Mark – in response to Tax Questions:

I worked in the tax dept for almost two years doing property appraisals during revaluation. (2000.)  The procedures for appraisal are codified in the state statute, and, as you surmised, are based on values for sales occuring before the crash because few sales occured afterwards.  So, the comparable values (sales) are stuck at a higher level than sales might be if properties were actually sold at today’s values.  A tax appraiser can not speculate on what a property might sell for based on asking prices.  If the real estate market  remains depressed, the pricing and values will decline during the next revaluation.  That, however, is four years away.
