Said Goodbye to a Friend and Fellow Author, William O. Weldy

 

Bill/William O. Weldy at the Art Affair on the Square

This past weekend I said goodbye to William O. Weldy (Bill).

He was longtime friend. Always sharp and full of humor.

I met Bill as a coworker at the JVS where he taught Law Enforcement for about a decade. He also was a writer and had some darn good books published.

We shared our writing projects with each other and made recommendations for improvement, and were members of a crit group for years.

I have several of his books on my classroom shelves. Several are picked up and read each year, but Chase consistently garners the most interest.



I (like so many) am really going to miss Bill.

Successful Re-Election bid for Village Council

 
I am thankful for the confidence the citizens showed in re-electing me to Village Council. 

As one of seven candidates, I came in 2nd, earning one of the four open seats on council, to serve another four year term.
