Thanks to BOE for 8-lane track at McIntosh

Letters from Our Readers

On behalf of the entire McIntosh High School family,

I would like to extend our appreciation to the

Fayette County School Board in general, and board members

Debbie Condon and Woody Shelnutt in particular, for their decision

to widen the track to eight lanes during the current renovation.

Since state rules require eight lanes to hold a regional meet,

we can now hold those meets here in Fayette County.

I know that money is very tight in the school system at this

time, and with the present rate of growth, probably will stay

that way for some time. Therefore, it was no easy task to find the

extra dollars to add the two lanes, but the Board stayed with it until

the funds were pieced together.

Mrs. Condon and Mr. Shelnutt were instrumental in putting

this project together, and we are very grateful to them for their help.

A special word of thanks also needs to go out to

Mike Satterfield and his crew for the work they have done at

the school. Mr. Satterfield has practically lived at McIntosh

for the past few weeks, trying to get the stadium area in shape for

us to play football last Friday. With apologies to James Brown,

I believe Mike may be "the hardest workin' man in Fayette County."

Again, our thanks to the Board of Education for their help

with this project. We hope you will come Out and join us for our

first track meet.
