A column reflects on a Berlin Wall fragment with its fingerprints marking human hands who built and tore it. The author compares this to the Aiken County Veterans Memorial Park wall, honoring veterans with etched names and many blank spaces awaiting future additions.
Marti Healy writes as vice president of The Design Group about touching the wall where names Jason and Walter are etched. She imagines futures where the missing space is torn down and replaced by relics under glass, preserving only fingerprints as memory.
The Iron Pony in Aiken will close July 2 as Peggy Alexander sells remaining stock at 50 percent off and Colleen Smyth plans to reopen August as Devon Fancies. Smyth aims to restore the historic cabin roots with tea service a reading room and a small library in the revived shop.
