Letter to the editor
To the Editor:
Progressive and thinking residents of Marion County will long regret the loss of David and Joanna Brazil's professionalism and leadership energy. Both of them in their diverse roles in the community have demonstrated dedication and respect for concepts that benefited the citizenry throughout Marion County.
Having been connected with Marion County for 60 years, my observations of hired and volunteer leaders have provided considerable opportunities to evaluate those individuals who uphold the professional and ethical qualities that are essential for working with the public.
My contacts with David in a construction issue were handled with efficiency, proper guidance, and professional proficiency. It has been regrettable to view from the sidelines the contentious, micro-managed issues that have been the test of David's professional responsibilities to all Marion County residents.
The years of enjoying Joanna's energy and enthusiasm as Peabody's Main Street director make the future without her sound dull and boring.
I am not alone, Joanna and David, in knowing how fortunate your next community is to have your care and dedication. Best wishes! You will be missed.
