He was born in Baltimore, Md., Oct. 12, 1943, son of the late Harry Amos Finchum and the late Maizie Virginia (Painter) Finchum. Joel graduated from Baltimore City College High School and then proudly served his country in the U.S. Coast Guard during the Vietnam War.

Wednesday, as a layup for Joe Bidenâs fallacious and pandering assertion that âwhite supremacistsâ are the greatest terrorist threat to America â just one of a litany of lies in his droning remarks to a few members of Congress â the Department of Justice filed âhate crimeâ charges against three Georgia men, accusing them of murdering Ahmaud Arbery. That would be three white men, one of whom shot Arbery, a black man â which is why Biden took his low performing speech victory lap in Georgia.
The Arbery death received little attention at the time it occurred in February of 2020, and when it was picked up by the Demosâ Leftmedia propagandists three months later, it was eclipsed by the death of George Floyd in May.

Phyllis M. Kelley of Carroll County, Md., formerly of Millsboro passed away Wednesday, April 21, 2021.
Born Jan. 17, 1941, Phyllis was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years, the late Robert J. Kelley III. She was a devoted mother to son Kent S. Kelley (Anneli), cherished grandmother (Beeah) to Sean P. Kelley and great-grandmother to Madeline Grace (Gracie) Kelley. She was the loving cousin of Ronald E. Small and his siblings Frederick, Linda and Bobby. She was the sister of Mark Stocker, aunt to three nieces and four nephews and lifelong friend of Ellen Loerwald.
Phyllis attended Eastern High School in Baltimore, Md., where she was a member of Lambda Omicron sorority. She worked as the CFO of a Baltimore advertising company, and later became a licensed nursing home administrator in both Maryland and Delaware. In 1995 she was named Administrator of the Year by Health Facilities Association of Maryland.
At first, Bill Richardson chickened out.
Growing up in Delaware in the late 1940s, the plan was for Richardson, along with some childhood friends, to enlist in the military. But when the time came, he backed out.
Yet in 1950, at age 22, Richardson was drafted into the U.S. Army, eventually fighting in the Korean War. The military led him to live in California, Japan and throughout Korea. And even as a veteran, Richardson kept his Army uniform or fatigues neatly in his closet. He wore his uniform on every veteran holiday. And he loved when strangers asked to take a photo of him.
