Governor postpones visit

By Karen Williamson

Unexpected business will keep Gov. Bob Riley from attending the Cullman County Republican Party dinner tonight as planned. However, organizers plan to reschedule the event for some later time in July.

Treasurer Brenda Horn said, “It’s just a postponement.”

Horn received a telephone call Wednesday morning from the governor’s office.

The scheduler told Horn the governor was called to Washington for a high-level meeting. She said he was disappointed.

Those with tickets should hold on to them. The event will be held at the Dodge House Restaurant as originally planned.

She said the event was a fund raiser for the local organization.

Everyone who is prepaid has been placed in a database. Horn said she spent the day e-mailing and phoning guests but said she doubted she had everyone’s name.

Meanwhile, Cullman area Republicans will hold its monthly breakfast on July 7 at Jack’s Restaurant in Good Hope. The meal begins at 7 a.m. followed by the guest speaker at 8 a.m.

The executive director of the Alabama Republican Party John Ross is the featured speaker. He received his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Richmond and his Master’s Degree from the University of Alabama.

Ross was on the staff of Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville, before he accepted his current position. He also worked on the governor’s campaign.

  • Thoughtful people in Cullman

    Cullman was one of twenty stops I made while on book tour for “A Silence of Mockingbirds: The Memoir of a Murder.” I came to town at the request of Loretta Gillespie. We had met previously at the Alabama Book Festival in Montgomery. When Loretta learned I would be touring with my newest release, she asked if I would please come to her part of the country.
    One of the greatest blessings about touring with a book is the people I meet along the way. I knew something about the people of Cullman because Loretta had forwarded on to me stories of the aftermath of last year's devastating tornado. I had the opportunity to visit with Jimmy Simms and to hear first-hand his story of survival.
