public servant, again

Sherri and Mom at Meredith and Nevin’s wedding

I am so proud of my mom, who was selected to fill an open seat on the Stokes County Board of Education. She served on the board for several years, beginning in 1992. I voted for her in my first election. What a great memory, oh-so-many years ago.

I am sorry that I was not present for when she was sworn in earlier today. Alex did send me a picture via his cell phone. You can also catch her picture on the front of today’s Local Section in the Winston-Salem Journal. Read all about it here.
