Bob Etheridge of the Governors Office stops by for a Visit

Representative Bob Etheridge and his wife Faye stopped by the Concord High School Fire Academy for a visit on September 20, 2011. It was really nice to see them again after such a long time. Chief Barlow was serving as the Region 6 Teacher of the Year when Bob Etheridge last came to visit.

Representative Etheridge is the former NC State School Superintendent and served as a Congressman in the US House of Representatives from 1996 - 2010 where he authored and championed the Hometown Heroes Act of 2003. After leaving Congress Governor Beverly Perdue appointed him as the head of the NC Office of Economic Recovery and Investment which oversees funds to the state from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
