Last night the Hernando Chamber of Commerce and the Hernando County Government hosted a farewell gathering for our out-going county administrator, Gary Adams. This was a time for old friends to wish Mr. Adams the best while enjoying finger sandwiches, snacks, soft drinks and cake provided by Publix, Coca Cola and the Rising Sun Cafe. Commissioner Robert Schenck addressed the crowd with brief comments and presented Mr. Adams with two gifts. One was a plague from the Board of Commissioners and the other a framed photo of our coastline at sunset to remind Mr. Adams of the warm weather he will be missing in the cold month of February in Illinois. Jeanne Gavish, president of the Chamber expressed sadness from the business community with the impending departure of Mr. Adams and stated he was just getting through the honeymoon period. She presented him with a beautiful plague, too. Many from the community were in attendance like City Manager Dick Anderson, former Commissioner Mary Aiken, City Councilman David Pugh, Jr. and Jeff Webb from Hernando Times. Mr. Adams spoke briefly at the end the evening by thanking everyone that had come out and said that he never realized how many good friendships that he had forged while serving as administrator in our county. Good luck on your new job, Mr. Adams. Your optimism and sense of fair play will be missed by many in our community.
