Summit County Clerk Submits Resignation To Be Effective Nov. 5 The familiar, confident demeanor of Doug Geary, county clerk, will be leaving the elected services of this county on Nov. 5 one day after the municipal elections. As is his committed manner, he will see the 1993 municipal elections through before handing over the office to an appointee. The Republican Committee will submit three names to the board of county commissioners, one of which will be chosen to complete Dougs term. The 1994 elections will have names on the ballot for election to that office. Doug has been with the county as clerk for eight years, some of which have been very hectic, some fun, some otherwise. He recalls some of the not so customary marriages he performed such as on top of Park West or on a ski run. Douglas made many friends in the courthouse and will be sorely fond missed. It is a bitter-swefarewell and bon voyage in his new endeavors, one of which is to return to school. et |
