Daughter of late Pirate baseball coach now a resident at ECU Health
For more than half of Audrey LeClair’s life, college baseball season — not football — has always meant homecoming.

But more than anything, it was a way to revisit the place that holds her first and last memories of her dad, beloved East Carolina University baseball coach...

The dog days of August year round

That would be the only explanation to allow for a dog’s collar to cut into its heavily fur covered neck so deep that the skin was slowly broken allowing raw flesh to protrude from the leather collar’s tightening due to the puppy’s growth.
