Bryan County News Jeff Whitten: In praise of 41 years of service
When I first heard longtime County Clerk Donna Waters was retiring after 41 years of working for the residents of Bryan County, I shot County Administrator Ben Taylor an email asking him for a quote.
He sent one, then followed up with another telling me to make sure I “write her up a good article.”
Naturally, it didn’t quite work out the way I had hoped. For starters, not long after that exchange the county provided its own press release announcing her retirement and it was so well done I decided to run it and reassess how I’d “write her up” that story.
