Beleaguered Virginian Seeks Record Set Straight
Virginia Beach man Allen D. Blevins, 21, is at the center of a bureaucratic mix up with the Army declaring him a deserter while his family says he never served. The case involves misfiled records, two Allen Blevins identities, an $18,000 naval hospital bill, and a different discharge status. The mother Frances Collins seeks resolution as her son battles confusion and a psychological disorder.

Hampton Roads Port Tops 1980 Tonnage On Coast
Norfolk based Hampton Roads reported 67 million tons of cargo in 1980, the East Coast’s highest, led by bulk coal grain and oil. The port surpassed New York in tonnage but trailed in value due to bulk cargo dominance. Final cargo value remained lower than New York and Baltimore amid a weaker national economy.
