LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Houck says 'thanks' and goodbye

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Current and Past Citizens of the Seventeenth Senatorial District,

On Jan. 11, 1984, shortly after 12:00 noon, I was sworn is as a member of the Senate of Virginia.  Today, twenty-eight years later, I write to express my sincere heartfelt appreciation for those who helped to make that journey possible.  Despite my disappointment in the outcome of election 2011, I leave office having a sense of positive fulfillment and with profound gratitude for all of the courtesies extended to me as your State Senator.

Throughout those glorious years, including eight contested elections, I found many wonderful people throughout the 17th District, which included thirteen different localities.  Although the geographic nature of district constantly changed, the friends I made, the officials with whom I worked and the citizens in each area were always friendly and treated me with respect--even when differences of opinion occurred.

Please know that my wife, Dana, and I feel blessed that we were afforded this great opportunity during this phase of our lives.  We have now found a renewed sense of peace and are enjoying our lives being more simple and serene.

I hope my travels down life’s path will cross with many of you.  In the meanwhile, may God bless each of you for the kindness you brought my way.
