This will be my last commissioner's column since I decided not to run for re-election as the District 3 Coos County commissioner. I was privileged and honored to serve the voters of District 3 for eight years and extend my thanks to the voters for their support. I tried, and hope I served them well.

I would like to first thank my wife, Linda, for all her support, help and encouragement during the eight years. Next, I would like to thank all the individuals from Dalton to Pittsburg who gave of their time, advice, expertise and other support. These are the people that made my job as a commissioner successful.
