The Navajo County Supervisors said a fond farewell to two members last week, Lee Jack and Jesse Thompson.
Both members of the Navajo Nation, Jack and Thompson have long, distinguished records of community service, the soft-spoken courtesy of the Navajo and an abiding commitment to creating links between the residents of the reservation and the rest of the county.
The board paused on Tuesday to recognize the deep contributions of Thompson and Jack, who have often set the tone for the supervisors. Their heartfelt opening prayers and invocations, occasional use of Navajo from the dais, frequent expressions of gratitude, a reluctance to confront or criticize and a commitment to constituent service have all set the tone for the convivial board meetings.
