PERSONAL

Dear Citizens of South Carolina:

For many years in the past, until the present, our beautiful state has struggled to get more than two or three levels from the bottom in education. More money continues to be pumped into salaries at the state level and additional personnel has been added, but little has been done for early childhood education, elementary education and the classroom in general. We are certainly not proud of this accomplishment. Many good educators have worked long and hard to bring about change. These educators cannot do it by themselves. Some small gains are being made, but not enough overt activity is happening at the state level. There is too much passivity. Reform is needed. I can help bring the necessary changes at the state level. I owe no one and political factions will not restrain me. If you send me to Columbia as your State Superintendent of Education, I will turn over as many stones as possible to find the diamond that we so desperately need. The challenge is great because our educational problems continue to grow and our responsibility is to do something about these problems. This is why I want to be your next State Superintendent of Education. I will make a difference.

I grew up in a working class family in Springfield, S.C. and I now live in Anderson, S.C. where I am a retired educator. Ramona, my wife, a Columbia College graduate, and I have raised our two children Jason and Hilary to become productive members in society. They now have families of their own. We want the best for our three grandchildren, your grandchildren and all children in South Carolina. I want to make sure that our educational values make it to Columbia. If you send me to Columbia as your next State Superintendent of Education, I will make you proud. My Christian principles and values will be my guide.
