From: <momser7@aol.com> To: Governor Musgrove Created: 5/1/2000 12:28 PM Subject: Flag Controversy Message: From: Jan Payne 7771 Greenbrook Parkway Southaven, MS 38671 Governor Musgrove: I just wanted to chime in with my two cents worth on the Mississippi State Flag issue. My husband's and my roots go back over 200 years in Mississippi, and we are avid history buffs. We have a great deal of respect and reverence for our ancestors and their part in Mississippi's history. However, the state flag is NOT the sum total of state history and achievements. This is an issue for small minded folks, and the media is milking it for all it's worth. Mississippi has a golden opportunity to respond proactively before the issue is totally out of hand, like North Carolina. Let's change it to something positive that all our citizens can rally around and move on. The Battle Flag is part of our history, not representative of our future!
