Record Publisher Ken Welborn has done it again.In this, his second book of columns — which appeared on the award-winning editorial pages of The Record — Welborn touches on some of the year’s highlights. The biggest of those was the paper’s involvement with the efforts to obtain a governor’s pardon for Wilkes County legend Tom Dooley — hence the title of this book. From that involvement, Welborn and The Record received statewide, national and international attention. Since the release of the first book, and the 52 subsequent columns published here, Welborn has become well known for these writings in his native Wilkes County. These pieces delve into every corner of life — personal thoughts on passing friends and loved ones, to lighthearted vignettes. Welborn’s columns usually offer a ray of optimism and always a smile or a chuckle. Jerry Lankford Pardon Me, Tom Dooley—sure to be a sellout. Available now at The Record, Rhoades Book Store, Duck
