Election

Dear Friends,

The campaign is over and the votes are in. I was fortunate to win. Tuesday morning, I received congratulations from John Arrowood. He was very gracious and I wish him well on his search for work with a law firm. We were at the Acropolis on Tuesday night and attached are some photos of the event.

I would not have won without the support of a wide group of friends of both parties. I am truly humbled by your vote of confidence and will work hard not to let you down. I start to work on Jan. 1, 2009 and will work until Dec. 31, 2017 when I hope to retire. I don’t see any other elections in my future. There will be a ceremonial swearing in Greensboro sometime in early January, 2009 and a reception to follow at the Elon Law School. I hope all who want to come will make it.

For the immediate future, I am working on shutting down my law practice of 35 years and saying goodbye to a great group of lawyers and staff at Hunter, Higgins PLLC. They will continue in business providing outstanding legal services for their clients.

Susan and I are deciding on where and when to live. The real estate market will be a large part of this equation and we are waiting to see what happens when the market settles down.

Thanks again for all that you did for me.

Sincerely,

Bob and Susan Hunter
