Be the Change

RIP Senator Rhoades

I get the Sunday newspaper every week (mostly for the coupons), and this week's cover reported the death of our state Senator. Senator Rhoades was in a car accident Friday night and died Saturday morning. His wife is still in the hospital, but it looks like she'll be okay.

I don't think I've ever met Senator Rhoades... I did have the chance to meet Rep. Goodman and Congressman Holden on several occasions. That was one of the things I loved about working for the local newspaper - I got to meet so many interesting people. I went back through my photo album this morning to see if I had ever taken a photo of the senator. I remember each photo and each event I covered for the paper. I can't help feeling proud when I see my name in the by-line of articles I wrote. Maybe someday I'll have that again... I know my husband and sister (who drove me to my assignments since I still don't drive) probably don't miss the job, but I do.
