Al Smith the Sportscaster for WFLO said on his broadcasts “A Quitter Never Wins and A Winner Never Quits” Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to formally announce to the citizens of Virginia the opening of my campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.
At the age of 71, I have spent 99 percent of my life in Farmville, Virginia. I am presently President & CEO of the Oliver & Eggleston Funeral Establishment in Farmville and Executive Director of the Oliver Chapel in Crewe. I served as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the historic First Baptist of Farmville from 1980 to 2005, which I joined over 65 years ago. I also served a Member, Vice-Chair and Chair of many political, civic, and community organizations.
I am a 1969 graduate of Robert Russa Morton High School of Farmville. When the school closed in 1959 I was promoted to the third grade. For two years I did not go to school at all. The second two years my parents rented a house in Cumberland so my siblings and I could return to school. The schools in Prince Edward County reopen in 1963. My siblings returned to Prince Edward. In 1977 I received a Associates Degree in Applied Science focusing on Mortuary Science. In 2007 I receive a B S Degree in Business Administration from Saint Paul’s College with 4.0 grade point average as one of the Virginia’s “Brown Scholars”.
