Greetings Rochelle,
Since coming to Charlottesville, Virginia, I have heard from various sources that you served well as the Assistant City Manager of Charlottesville. I have come to know you best and been impressed by your leadership and commitment to the peservation of Jefferson School (preservation of the Jefferson School building and property as a historic landmark) that is one of a few historic evidences of the presence of African American in Charlottesville. I have also appreciated your membership and participation in Charlottesville’s African American Authors Book Club.
I bid you Godspeed as you assume your new position as the Assistant City Manager for Public Development in Savannah, Georgia.
In Mutuality,
Uriah J Fields (U.J.)
Thank-you UJ for your very kind send-off. I have enjoyed my association with you and always looked forward to our monthly discussions at our book club. You were always an insightful reader and a delightful conversationalist whenever and wherever we met. I hope that our paths will cross again very soon.
All the best–Rochelle
