As a relative "newbie" here...only two years, I hesitate to step up and volunteer among all of the veterans but I would be glad to help in any way I can. I believe I have enough experience as a CC to bring something to the plate that will be helpful. Just let me know. Unfortunately, I have more free time now than a year ago! I am self employed as a Rebar Detailer out of my home and the economy is not being kind to our industry at the moment! I am CC for two counties, Fayette and Henry. I was born in Fayette County and my Mother's family had been there since 1824 and there are members of the family still residing there. I graduated from high school in Henry County. I now live in the beautiful Appalachian mountains in Boone, NC. I have one husband and two children. My husband is a boiler maker welder and is on the road alot. My son is 18 and has no clue yet! My daughter is 14 and a freshman in high school. She plays fastpitch softball which takes up quite a bit of my time and is about to embark on a trip to Europe next Wednesday with her Latin class for 10 days....Germany, Austria and Italy. Wish it was me! I have no brick walls in Georgia, unfortunately, they are all "across the pond" and a couple in Pennsylvania.
