ÂÂÂAn editorial by Gary Nager
Dear Mr. Nager:
Regarding your editorial about Will Weatherford in your August 27, 2011, edition, I wanted to point out a small error.
While I think that Will Weatherford is a great leader and will be good for Pasco County and the State of Florida, he will not be the youngest Speaker ever in Florida. That position was held by Doyle Connor, in 1958, at the age of 28.
While Connor was Commissioner of Agriculture, my father, who was at the time the County Agricultural Agent for Lake County, had many dealings with him and I met the commissioner on several occasions. He was also a fraternity brother of my brother-in-law at the University of Florida in the 1950s.
I enjoy your Neighborhood News.
Sincerely,
