HE'S ONE OF THE THREE JACKSON COUNTY SUPERVISORS.    HAS HELD
THAT POSITION FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS AND IS ON THE JACKSON COUNTY CONSERVATION BOARD ALSO.    PAST PRESIDENT OF ROTARY.   HE MAKES ALMOST EVERY MEETING AND WHEN HE ATTENDS,  HIS JOB AFTER DINNER
IS TO GO AROUND THE TABLE AND ASK IF ANY MEMBER HAS A "GOOD NEWS" ITEM TO TELL.     IF SO, HE LETS THEM TELL IT FOR A DOLLAR.   PROCEEDS ARE USED FOR ROTARY'S SCHOLARSHIP FUND.    ALWAYS A FUN PART OF THE MEETING, WITH QUITE A FEW LAUGHS.     I SAID BIG MEMBER...BECAUSE HE'S PROBABLY 6-6 OR TALLER.
