About This Project

"The View" showcases the unique character of the people and places that form our community. The column explores the lives and relationships of the diverse groups that populate the Triangle. Anyone, regardless of age, race, cultural background or ethnicity, is a potential subject. We include the thoughts of those featured as they express how they view their own situation, allowing us a window into their lives.

Our approach to finding stories for the column varies. Often, we look for subjects to illustrate themes we want to explore. Other times, we may stumble across interesting subjects while on assignment or in our daily lives. We hope readers can use "The View" to enhance their understanding of their own community.

Wearing his father's old Navy fighter pilot jumpsuit and military cap, Daniel Beveridge, 14, left, of Wendell, listens intensely to a veteran during the 60th Anniversary of D-Day Commemoration at the Public Library of Johnston County in Smithfield. At right is Allan Beam, 13, of Clayton, in a borrowed military cap and Army and Navy-bought uniform. The boys, along with 20 others in the Tar Heel Junior Historians Homeschoolers Unfolding History group, performed a play for a gathering of about 120 guests. Fascinated by military history, Beveridge hopes to follow in his father's footsteps in becoming a Navy fighter pilot, and Beam hopes to one day join the Air Force or the Army.
