Dear Editor:

Regarding your recent article related to Wayne Martin's announcement of his pending retirement from Crisp Regional Hospital, please allow me to share that this is a huge loss not only for Crisp Regional and for those the organization serves but also for the entire state of Georgia.

I had the privilege of working for Mr. Martin as director of Support Services from 2001 - 2002. He has and continues to be a mentor and friend.

He gave me sound advice early in my career that I hold strongly to to this day! His advocacy for the associates who work tirelessly every day to ensure quality healthcare, respect and support for the physicians, many of whom he personally recruited to the area, are examples of leadership characteristics that he possesses.

Most importantly, consistent compassion and focus on doing the right thing every time for those in need are seen in his daily activities.

I do wish Mr. Wright much success as he assumes leadership of Crisp Regional - he truly has large shoes to fill!

Thank you!

Jay Dennard,

Assistant Administrator

Gwinnett Medical Center

Duluth, GA

I truly appreciate the Cordele Dispatch allowing me this space today to extend a “thank you” forty years late.

Mr. Man is peculiar
Men are peculiar creatures. I suppose, now that I’ve laid that provocative declaration on the table, you’ll want solid proof to back it up, though proving it will not be a difficult task; all I have to do is point to…Mr. Man.

Life, liberty, and .….accessories?
Spartanburg, South Carolina, is not the cultural center of the universe. I am qualified to make that statement based on my experiences in Spartanburg which include The Hearon Traffic Circle, The Midnight Sun, and Wofford College.

Mr. Man and childhood obesity
Mr. Man has a fat grandson. The kid lives in Texas, so we rarely see him, but according to pictures on Facebook, he is fat.

Life, liberty, and .….springtime?
Spring is officially here. I don’t care about the calendar, the baseball season, the basketball playoffs, Easter, when the Confederate Jasmine blooms, when the robins come through, when the sand hill cranes fly, or what the temperature does.

Victim thanks officers
(A story about a robbery at gunpoint ran in Thursday’s Cordele Dispatch. As is the paper’s policy, the victim was not identified. He submitted a letter of thanks, but asked that he still not be identified.
We are honoring his request because of the circumstances. Sheriff Donnie Haralson and other officers know who he is).

Life, liberty, and …vacations?
Vacations are a time to get away and escape the humdrum of your normal life. Some couples I know like to take a trip about once a quarter, just get out of town.

Mr. Man and spilled milk
We’ve come a long way, baby, but women are still second class citizens...I haven’t heard Helen Reddy roar in quite a while.
