It is Friday, September 30.

In this episode I spoke with Debbie Smith, the Scottsville Chamber of Commerce President. Our conversation started out with her experience as a youth growing up in Scottsville. She spent her career working in the federal government network in the Departments of Defense, IRS, the Mint, and Homeland Security. Her experience sheds light on how these departments work.

After retirement, Debbie moved back to Scottsville and got involved in her hometown.

What about the impending growth in our town? She has comments on this as well.

Enjoy her stories!

As always, if you have a story, an issue, a song, or want to have a conversation, contact me.
