Emergency Meeting of Flo Water Board

By Mac Shadix
An emergency called meeting of Flo WSC was held Friday at ll:30 to discuss and put to rest the rumor that Flo WSC was to furnish water to the new Buffalo High School. All directors were present, except for Gary Bell and Nancy Spivey according to Delores Bynum, Office Manager. The meeting was called and presided over by Vice president Bobby Pittman and he stunned the group by announcing that Flo WSC President Gary Bell had suffered a heart attack and was in the hospital in Bryan and that his resignation had been tendered by phone by his wife. Pittman also told those assembled in the Lone Star Community that he, himself, did not intend to seek reelection to his position on the board.

Buffalo Independent School District Superintendent Jackie Thompson confirmed to the Buffalo Press that there had been no consideration of Flo WSC providing water for the new high school. Water for the school will either come from the City of Buffalo or from the school district’s own well Thompson said.

Pittman said that the resignation had not been accepted at this time and that it may not be accepted until after the upcoming elections to give the new board the chance to appoint the director according to reports from those in attendance.
