Quite some legacy

Last year, we wrote an editorial about the late Darcy MacLachlan, who left his estate to be split between the Berkeley Springs High School band and youth programs put on by the Berkeley Springs American Legion.

Last week, the Morgan County School Board was told that the estate has been settled and $116,000 will go to the band and $116,000 to the Legion's youth programs.

During his lifetime, Darcy was often at odds with many around Berkeley Springs and was frequently belittled. But he has left a wonderful legacy for which the community should be grateful.
