Last September when I took the fledgling student staff of the Carrboro Commons for a walking tour, we got to visit with Carrboro town fixture, biker, guitar player, raconteur and char-actor Robert Harman, the self-proclaimed \u00e2\u20ac\u0153King of Carrboro.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d My students will always remember how kind and downright sweet the man was when I, a rank stranger, walked up and began chatting with him. As you read in last week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Citizen, we lost Robert, and Carrboro is a little poorer for his absence. Perhaps a simple photo can help us through our grieving by celebrating what might otherwise be an ordinary moment on the Weaver Street Market lawn. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that Jerry Herman line from La Cage aux Folles? \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Because the best of times is now \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
