RIP
I had to look it up on the map, I saw Manchester and immediately thought of Manchester United (soccer). But the location of this city (town) is not so far from Knoxville, where I spend time.
Looks like this mayor was a kind soul, indeed. How sad for this treasure to be taken from us too soon by the pandemic. thanks for the post, Tanuki.
