By Kim Underwood

JOURNAL REPORTER

Published: November 26, 2008

DANBURY – Stokes County commissioners did not authorize the purchase of land for a new elementary school or set aside money for school-capital projects at a meeting Monday night.

That means that the next step in determining the fate of Nancy Reynolds Elementary School and a new elementary school for the King area will be a joint meeting between the Stokes County commissioners and school-board members.

When they told 86-year-old Marion James they were taking him to the American Legion in King on Wednesday, October 15, he thought he was just going to some sort of meeting. He had no idea that he was going to have restored to him something that meant much to him—his medals for service in World War II.
