The document then compiles a jumble of notices including a vehicle sale, local zoning action in Bluefield West Virginia, a divorce suit in Mercer County and court filings, all dated 1979.

Virginia Tech backs 13 man basketball limit
Coach Charlie Moir at Virginia Tech favors a 13 player limit for basketball scholarships, saying 11 or 12 would work but eight or nine would worry him. He notes recruiting is hard when rookies lack game action in their first season amid an 15 man cap. He stresses next year’s recruiting need.
