Moved on: Moore rarely thinks of ex
(By Scott Sexton, Winston-Salem Journal) - For nearly 20 years, the Rev. Dwight Moore has lived the life of a country preacher in a little town in central Virginia.
He tends the garden outside the parsonage he shares with his wife, Faye, reads and watches a little TV. Lately, he's given more thought to letting somebody else take over in the pulpit. The fact that he survived the arsenic fed to him in 1989 by his then-wife, the infamous Blanche Taylor Moore, almost never comes up.
His life, finally, is routine, ordinary and tranquil.
The reverie of his near retirement was broken last week by the news that Blanche Moore -- sent to death row by a Forsyth County jury in 1990 for the poisoning death of a boyfriend -- had filed an appeal under the Racial Justice Act along with 146 other death-row inmates in North Carolina.
"Dwight … someone wants to speak to you," Faye Moore called out, sounding every bit the protective spouse resigned to the fact that her husband would soon be deluged by the past.
