Mr. Ken Malone [local number] called. Said he wanted to let the Sheriff know how proud he was of him. If the Sheriff decides to run for Governor he would donate to his campaign. Said, it was a pleasure seeing a “Southerner” who was so articulate, professional, and a gentleman. Also stated he was very happy to see the Sheriff acknowledge all of his staff members by name.

Said it would be an honor if the Sheriff called him back, but it was not necessary. Said he just wanted the Sheriff to know how he felt.

Thanks, Cathleen.

Subject: Message for Sheriff Morgan
Request/Question: Sheriff Morgan, I am appaled to think two people doing so much good were murdered by some low-lifes in your county. The loss of people doing so much good, as the Billings were is a big tragedy. How is it that we live in a world where you and I know the value of such people and there is scum that only sees them as prey. Ican only pray that you will find these people and your system in Fla. Will bury them! Thank you, Charlie Griffin in N.C.
