Two Bobs, letter carriers and third graders
Something interesting usually happens at City Council. Wednesday, I got to see both important men in the city named Bob Harris in the same place for the first time. They stood next to each other, shook hands and laughed. I wonder if the rest of the room was as amused as I was.
A city employee, Bob Harris is director of Parks and Recreation. He’s at almost every council meeting. The other is the president of the Southeast Civic Association, which serves the city’s Second Ward. He is also a martial arts champion and photographer despite visual impairment (he wears an eye patch on one eye and admits the other “isn’t too good either”). True story.
They stood before council for one of the many appreciation certificates or proclamations bestowed Wednesday. The city honored a carpentry class that helped rebuild a shelter at a park, members of the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive, a few third graders who came up with pro-seat belt slogans and members of the city’s tree board. Additionally, former long-time councilman George McNally and SECA President Bob Harris received some kudos for their work with the annual city cleanup, which will be May 3.
I hope I’m not forgetting anyone.
