Jordan, Tommy and two of Jordan's boys. After last year's tie-breaking vote for chairman, I never wanted to miss another September school board meeting. So much occurs at that first meeting of the new school year--the BOE reorganizes and elects a new chairman and sometimes committees are assigned. So the question arises, "Why did you miss the September meeting?" The answer is simple--family.
Our oldest son admirably serves our nation with the Air Force. While we have been able to take our other three children on multiple family trips it has not been possible with him. In the last several years Jordan and his wife have been stationed in England, stationed in Mt. Pleasant, had three children, moved to serve in their present assignment in Washington D.C., and he presently travels on behalf of the Air Force. They haven't been able to get away, but this year Jordan gave us a small window when he could arrange time to leave. It is--and has always been--my belief that God is first in my life, my family is second and service is third. Even though it was a difficult decision, I have now returned and been busy serving District Seven every day. Let the new 2015-2016 year begin!
