Editor:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all of those who supported my candidacy for a seat on the Southampton County School Board. I am truly thankful for your interest in me as you spoke for me, wrote letters of reference for me, signed petitions for me, made phone calls for me or encouraged me to seek appointment.

I would also like to thank the outgoing members of the board for their service to the needs of the county’s students, teachers and staff and school patrons. Following in their footsteps will be difficult. Every effort will be made to continue their legacy.

Thanking all of you, I remain

William W. Worsham
