Sheriff Mike Downey, Undersheriff Billy Honsal, Lt. Wayne Hanson, District Attorny-elect Maggie Fleming, Eureka Police Chief Andy Mills, Betty Chinn, Reverend Dan Price and several co-workers and community members showed up at BOS chambers to honor Lt. Steve Knight who is retiring this week.
Like many others, I made time to be here. Steve Knight is an asset to our community and like others who know him, I hope he continues to be active and we see him around.
He got two standing ovations, even from audience members who were attending the meeting for other reasons.
Steve said he could not put 30 years in 3 minutes, Rex quipped, "I will give you six." Said he could not turn and face his friends and co-workers because "he'd lose it." He thanked God
Two other recent posts on this blog with quotes and background. Supervisor Virginia Bass read the resolution. Watch him being honored on Access Humboldt. It is only fair you see and hear the tribute he received.
Except for Access Humboldt, who films every meeting, no other reporter was there during the BOS morning session unless they plan to be there later today.
It is election day but special presentations, especially honoring community members and those like Steve, who have dedicated their lives to the community, are important.
We read enough about crime and polarization every day.
