Despite the fact that Speaker of the Colorado House, Andrew Romanoff, read the 10 top reasons why Linda should not retire, she has stepped down from the chair of Morgan County Democrats. Saturday evening her friends and family gathered at Elaine’s Place in Fort Morgan to pay tribute to all her hard work. Linda is not going away. She remains the treasurer of the county party. In addition to Andrew’s humorous tribute, I was able to present her with a wonderful jewelled donkey pin made by the National Women’s Political Caucus. I also told the gathering that the new NCEC data suggests that Morgan County could vote Democratic in 2008. If that happens, current chair, Tom Proctor, cannot take all the credit. Linda can share in the victory because of all her hard work.

Linda’s array of pictures with many political luminaries were displayed on a table at the front. Her brother, Cliff, read letters from Senator Gary Hart, Governor Roy Romer, Senator Ken Salazar and others.

In addition to Morgan County Democrats, and even some Republicans, Democrats from Logan and Lincoln County attended the festivities. We are all happy that Linda is not disappearing. Thanks to her for all she has done and continues to do.
