So Glad I Read It . . .and Glad to Hear It

George received a nice letter from the "Lee County Courier" recently reminding us that it is time to renew.  It certainly didn't bother me for the letter to come to George; as a matter of fact, I like the idea--seems so right.  We've always enjoyed the 'LCC,' but these past months, well, it's been difficult for me to keep up with my readings.  I try to catch the Courier, great publication that is is, and catching up with the 5/17 issue, I'm glad I did.  Front page, there it was/is:  "Holland defers retirement" by C. Richard Cotton.  I distinctly remember having a 'sinking feeling' when Steve shared that he was calling the journey to Jackson quits next time.  Reading the story with all the particulars of reapportionment, my spirit received a lift.  ". . . an important position in the minority"--that quote says it.  The Capitol would lose so much spirit and energy without the vibrant presence of Rep. Holland.  The people bringing in exhibits explaining their special messages designed to catch the attention of our legislators always feel great when Steve takes time to visit with them in the Capitol Rotunda.
