It was my honor to remember the life and legacy of @NewHanoverCo Commissioner Deb Hays during a speech on the House Floor. Deb was a pillar in our community and the lives impacted by her legacy are countless. Hers truly was a great life lived.

#NHCgov Commissioners adopted a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Tony Rivenbark, director of @thalianhall since 1979. Tony was a pillar in the Wilmington theater community and his presence was felt throughout the Cape Fear region and beyond. He will be greatly missed.
