Ken County JUANITA REEVES MAPLES, CTA ASSESSOR AND COLLECTOR OF TAXES COUNTY OF KERR KERRVILLE, TEXAS 78025 PHONE 512 696-1414 March 8, 7-976 Honorable Commissioners Court Kerr County Kerrville, Texas 78028 Gentlemen: My intentions were to meet with you today and ask for one last request. This request being your acceptance of this award that I accepted with pride and humility in behalf of Kerr County. I feel the award belongs even more to you and the people of Kerr County than myself - for had it not been for the people and you, my governing board, all struggling together, this would not have been mine to receive. I am not able to ask this of you personally today because the Secretary of State, Mark White, has requested that I be present in Austin today to serve on a Citizen's Committee that Governor Briscoe has asked to be appointed concerning the registration of voters in Texas. Hopefully, I can finish the meeting and return prior to your adjournment to ask you to place this remembrance in your Court- room. Perhaps it will be better not to do this in person because I do not wish for any "sadness of farewell". Gentlemen, I wish to thank each of you. I will cherish always the memories of our association as a team working for Kerr County - each in the way we felt to be best. i R s ectfullY yours ~~ Mrs.) JUANITA R EVES MAPLES, C~ Tax Assessor-Collector JRM:hd
