A SPECIAL commemoration of the famous Lee Jeans sit-in will be organised by Inverclyde Council this year to mark its 40th anniversary. The landmark moment in February 1981 saw the mainly female workforce barricade themselves into the Greenock textile plant to save their jobs after it emerged the factory could close down with machinery shipped off to Northern Ireland. What was originally meant to be a one-night protest eventually lasted seven months and, in the end, the 240 workers won their fight against the American VF Corporation. Four decades on, elected members have voted to organise an appropriate event to remember the iconic moment.
Theresa Louise Corboo, 69, of Mechanicsville, MD passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at MedStar St. Mary s Hospital, Leonardtown, MD. Born on March 21, 1951 in LaPlata, MD; she was the loving daughter of the late Earl Rudolph Alvey and Elsie May (Jordan) Alvey.
Theresa married the love of her life, John J. Corboo, Jr. on October 25, 1969 before John entered the Navy. Together they have spent the last 52 years proving that love endures all. Their love story was blessed when they welcomed two (2) beautiful daughters, Renee and Missy.
A classy, graceful and kind woman, Theresa made friends everywhere she went. A social butterfly in every scenario; she never wanted anyone to feel like a stranger. She retired as the Assistant Treasurer of Citizen s Bank, and during that time she offered excellent customer service which gave way to long lasting friendships and became a well-respected associate to all she served and worked with during her career.

The White House is arguably one of the most famous buildings in the world. In recent years, it s been home to Barack and Michelle Obama, Melania and Donald Trump and now the newly sworn in 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden and his wife, Dr Jill Biden – but there s a lot more to it than that.
Not only is it the historic landmark where every serving President has lived and worked since 1800, but its rich backstory is fascinating. The mansion features an array of on-site services, shops and err, ghosts, apparently, and it s been burnt down and rebuilt, originally had an entirely different name and so much more.
