| I
was elected Chancery Clerk of Pontotoc County in November,
1986, in a special election. I was elected on Tuesday,
and about 9:00 a.m. the next morning I was sworn in. Representing
the people of Pontotoc County, or any other county in
any elected position, is, and should be, an awesome and
often overwhelming responsibility, filled with many challenges.
I love being Chancery Clerk, trying to do what's best
for Pontotoc County and all our citizens.
Pontotoc
is a wonderful and special place. It is where I was
born and have lived my entire life. I married Faye Gregory
in 1967. We have two children. Regina Ferguson is the
Director of Nursing at the North Mississippi Regional
Center in Oxford.
Greg is Assistant Manager at Jackson Implement Company
in Pontotoc, and he is not married. Gina is married
to Larry Ferguson, who is a fireman for the city of
Tupelo. They have twins, Katelyn and Kolten Ferguson;
so you can readily see that these two grandchildren
can get away with anything with their Pop-Paw.
Since
being elected I have seen the payroll and accounting
for the county become completely computerized. Along
with moving into the 21st Century, we also began imaging
our land records (Deeds, Deeds of Trust, Power of Attorneys,
etc.) in February, 2000. We are currently working toward
backing all old land records into the computer to store,
preserve, and maintain these records for future generations
and to make these records available and accessible via
the Internet.
The
five ladies pictured with me on our home page are special
people to me and are the heart and soul of this office.
They handle the many customers and problems that pass
through this office daily in a dignified and professional
manner. I, like most Chancery Clerks, often fail to
pat my Deputy Clerks on the back and give them the praise
they deserve.
I
live in the country in the Randolph Community, where
Faye and I both finished high school. I have a few beef
cattle and like to work in the yard and garden. In my
spare time I like to play golf and do a little woodworking.
