Integrity, loyalty and family.
These are just a few attributes that Air Force Senior Airman Heather Carson holds dear to her heart.
Carson was born in Wellsboro, Pa., and joined the United States Air Force in 1992, just three days after her 18th birthday. It was her goal to travel and get a higher education.
“After I graduated from basic, I went to Lowry AFB in Boulder, Co. for my training,” Carson said. “I studied the Fundamentals of Electronics for five months, followed by four months of specialized training for my AFSC – Bomb Navigation System Specialist on the B-52 Bombers. I was given my first permanent orders to Griffiss AFB in May 1993 where I worked ground maintenance on avionics on B52s in the 668th Bomb Squadron until I was part of closing the base in November 1994.”
TAVARES The Lake County School Board unanimously approved a new four-year contract for Superintendent Diane Kornegay on Monday night, with an annual 1% pay raise beginning in 2022.
The contract will take effect on July 1, the start of the school s new fiscal year, but will result in no immediate change to Kornegay s current $195,000 salary. She will receive raises the following three years.
School Board Chairman Bill Mathias told the board at its biweekly meeting that the superintendent has not received a raise in six years, dating to when Susan Moxley oversaw Lake County Schools. Moxley served from 2008 until 2017, when Kornegay, 57, was hired.
He was a bigger smash at pep rallies.
A natural crowd pleaser, Mularsky was a cheerleader through and through whenever he sang: From east to west, Yellow Jackets are the best. Sometimes I wonder if there are characters like him anymore, said Sandi Moore, the executive director of the Leesburg Chamber of Commerce who was in one of Mularsky s classes. I know that they are, but when you know somebody who has that kind of personality.
Mularsky, who taught for 30 years in Lake County schools, died Tuesday. He was 60 years old. A funeral service was held Friday at Beyers Funeral Home in Leesburg, according to his obituary.
