No disrespect to my VFW Comrades However Buddy Poppy donations are only to be used to fund your local Veterans relief programs. not to be used for anything but veterans and their families in need in your area. Any other use of the fund is not allowed. The Buddy poppy is a time honored tradition in the US. Many corporations are afraid of lawsuits and this is a shame. The VFW has buddy poppy days around or during memorial day and Veterans day holidays. But the donations are only for veterans relief, not scholarships. Edward J. McDonald Athens Pa. Viet Nam veteran ( Warren High School Class of 1970)

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
