THANK YOU!

I am proud of many things about my district, two of which are the natural beauty of eastern Tennessee and the hospitality of our residents in sharing this beauty with visitors from all parts of the world.

Two Sevier County businesses allow me to hang their beautiful prints in my office. These prints, which symbolize tourism to the many people who visit me in my office, are:

  • A framed Jim Gray print of the old mill in Pigeon Forge, courtesy of Glynn and LaDonna Twyman, Jim Gray Gallery, 3331 S. River Road, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; and

  • A framed poster of Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, courtesy of Karl Thomas of Ripley's Aquarium, 88 River Road, Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

These prints are not gifts to me, but are loans for the district's senatorial office in Nashville. Thank you on behalf of me and other residents in the district.
