County Executive Pittman's Weekly Letter

Funerals impact me. Especially when the friends and family of the deceased truly share with the audience the person they have lost.

Our future depends on the next generation solving problems, cooperating with one another across the planet, and confronting these threats. Going from a home environment to a school environment is a first step to get there, into something bigger, into community, into diversity, and into opportunity.
