Merry Christmas Lee County



A very good friend of mine, Buck Harris, sent me a very cool Christmas card.  

In case you don't recognize it, it is a picture of old Ben Weaver who was a character on the Andy Griffith show.
 

The scene is from the Christmas episode that aired during the first season of the Andy Griffith show. 

If you have never seen this Christmas episode I would encourage you to do so.  It is a fine example of what Christmas is all about!!


Merry Christmas to all of Lee County!  Please be safe as we move into 2016!

God Bless You all! Once again, thank you for allowing me to serve as your Sheriff!
