To Agnes and her family,
I've said this to others, but it is worth repeating here for you:
My father helped teach me to be a good and caring person; Ned Eakle helped teach me to be a good and caring public employee. And while Howard County owes Ned a debt of gratitude, so do I.
Debbie and I send our condolences to you all.
