There will be many toy drives this holiday season.

    But one going on this Sunday 11/8 carries a special memory with it.

    It’s the day of the sixth annual “Syl Syl Christmas Toy Drive.“

    The toy drive is 2 - 4 pm at “The Clock Restaurant” on West Poinsett Street in Greer.

    It’s in memory of Sylvia Holtzclaw.

Sometimes I see him in-person.

Other times we communicate via e-mail.

Around this time of year I make it a point, one way or the other, to be in touch with David Holtzclaw.

I talk with him as a journalist but also his friend.

This is the sixth anniversary of the triple-murder and robbery at Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Greer.
