Christmas memories with Marge Cozart in Bluefield
Daily Telegraph senior editor Bill Archer recalls two touching Christmas memories about his late mother-in-law Marjorie Cozart and his mother. The first in 2002 features Marge in a ninth floor apartment at West Virginian Manor, a lunch with family and a chance meeting with James Hopkins, with a snowy railroad yard outside. The second, on Christmas Eve years earlier, shows a large WE CAN mentoring family gathering, gifting, and Marge’s poignant remark about helping needy boys, reflecting their shared belief in the season’s meaning.
