Editor:

Please allow me to thank the voters of the 2nd School Board District of Liberty County.

Because I began this awesome journey on Jan.,2012, I felt it fitting to announce that this will be my last 12 months as your representative. Thank you for your confidence and support in celebrations and thru difficult challenges, in my unwavering resolve to stand for truth, fiscal and legal responsibility. Your prayers and daily words of encouragement, even when your stand for my position on issues made you personally unpopular and subject to criticism, gave me strength beyond measure.

Thank you seems certainly inadequate for the partnership we have shared over seven years plus the 39 years I dedicated to loving the job of caring about educating children, supporting parents, teachers and administrators.

To my Church Family, First Calvary Missionary Baptist, My immediate family, former students, former teachers and children of Liberty County, May God Bless You and Keep You is My Prayer.
