TIRED OF RETELLING OF TAI COLLINS STORY

I AM AWARE, as is everyone else in the Roanoke Valley and elsewhere, that Tai Collins was a name in '91. If this is the way she chooses to be known to be a name, that is her life. But, please, I am up to my eyebrows with her story being told again and again. We need good role models for our children. We are trying to teach good morals, also how to treat others with respect. I don't see either of this in this '91 name. CLARA GREENE TROUTVILLE
