Norman Hunter,
My father has contributed years of dedication to Cecil County. He was one of the co-founders of the Sunfest in Rising Sun. He has been a part of the Chesapeake hospice organization for years and helped to arrange money to be raised through raffles of cars. To name all the great things he has contributed to this county would take me all day. His involvement in the Lions club, and Better Business to improve Cecil county speaks for itself. He spent the majorty of my formative years as a business man in the county and always worked with different organizations to bring revenue into the county. He works to raise money to help citizens who would like to attend Cecil College. I am proud of his dedication to this county. Even though he is now retired, he still tries to be involed at the age of 83. His actions throughout his 50 years speaks for itself.
