Nancy & Forest Pomykal with Russell Cain, Rep. Geanie Morrison, & Micah Roth, local representative for Congressman Michael Cloud
I thought I was going early to help Russell Cain, our county Republican Chairman honor our State Representative, Geanie Morrison who was to be our guest. You can imagine my surprise when Connie Hunt came forward and pinned a corsage of 8 yellow roses on my sweater! She said they were actually recognizing my service and dedication to Calhoun County for the past 28 years. Each yellow rose represented a term in office I have served and one for the approaching term.
Our State Representative Geanie Morrison read a resolution of commendation from our Texas House of Representatives. Russell Cain read a proclamation from our Texas Senate and signed by Senator Lois Kolkorst, and a proclamation from Calhoun County Judge Mike Pfeifer, was read by our new Judge Elect, Richard Myer. Judge Hope Mayes Kurtz who is attending her continuing education in Galveston couldn’t be there, but sent a letter congratulating for my tenure and thanking me for our friendship through the years. I was also presented with a United States flag which had flown over the United States Capitol in my honor!
All I can say is, it has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve Port O’Connor, Calhoun County and this great state of Texas for the past 28 years! I am truly humbled by the recognition and esteem shown for my service as Justice of the Peace at the ceremony that night.
When first elected in 1990, my goal was to make a difference in my community and to help others along the way. I feel I have done that. I believe that everyone deserves a chance and many times when they are given a chance, they turn their lives around. I want to thank GOD and everyone who helped put this amazing surprise together. I will continue to serve my community for the next four years to the best of my ability and from my heart. God Bless! -Nancy Pomykal
