"During the last 50 years, we have seen rivalries among Triad cities (and their leaders) obstructing regional cooperation and development. To name a few examples: the two airports dispute, the county line sports complex failure, the fight for Dell and the controversy to finish the Randleman dam project — now finally resolved.
Earlier efforts to reconcile and join forces have come up short. Hurt feelings from the previous effort to secede from Guilford County, while minimized through compromise, linger even now.
Now, through the efforts of the Piedmont Triad Foundation Inc., we have real opportunity to build an economic region as competitive and desirable as Research Triangle Park or Mecklenburg.
In his recent presentation to the Greensboro Kiwanis Club, Foundation President Bobby Long explained how the Wyndham Piedmont Regional Golf Tournament, promoted by the enthusiastic efforts of leaders and supporters throughout the region, is reinstating our historic golf tournament — no longer the GGO, but now the Piedmont Regional. Even more important to us all, he said, the tournament begins re-establishment of the economic and competitive status of the Piedmont Triad Region, second to none.
It is time for us to pitch in and support this new hope for the future.
Richmond G. Bernhardt Jr.
Greensboro"
