I regret not getting the closing rendition of Amazing Grace.
It was nice to see former commissioners Uva Holland and Margaret Pollard at the event. Both ladies were instrumental in me getting involved in local community service. Over a dozen years ago County Commissioners Pollard and Holland recommended me for committee positions on the Strategic Plan Development Committee and the County Water Board. I learned a lot about the county and it’s people by serving on those boards and interacting with folks county-wide.
