The Fremont County Commissioners paused this week to honor an employee who has reached a personal milestone and for the county as well. Curtis Stone, Supervisor of Fremont County's District 3 Road and Bridge Tallahassee Shop, has logged 40 years of service as a county employee. That's the longest service record for a Fremont County employee. The Commissioners presented Stone with a framed letter of congratulations signed by all seven of the District 3 Commissioners that Stone has served under since 1969. The letter was signed by Denzel Goodwin (1969-1972), Roy Canterbury (1973-1984), Dennis Jones (1985-1988), Bud Chess (1989-1992), Myron Smith (1993-1996), Keith McNew (1997-2004), and current District 3 Commission Ed Norden (2005-2009).
Reading from the letter signed by the seven Commissioners, Norden said, "It is rare to find a person who has applied such a dedicated work ethic to their tasks as you have displayed in your work for Fremont County over the past four decades. You have always led by example displaying the kind of work ethic needed to get the job done."
All of the District 3 Commissioners were able to attend the ceremony except for Dennis Jones. A reception in Stone"s honor was held at the County Administration Building immediately following the brief ceremony.
