Miller
would
accept
J. Newbill Miller confirmed last week that he would accept appointment to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors as the representative from Hampton District to fill the vacancy left by the death of Clarence Baldwin.
In a letter dated March 21, Mr. Baldwin announced his resignation, due to failing health, and recommended that Mr. Miller be appointed in his place. According to law, the Board of Supervisors must elect an interim replacement who will serve until a special election Nov. 4.
“Mr. Baldwin told me two weeks ago that he was going to resign, swearing me to secrecy, and asked me if I would take the job,” Mr. Miller said. “I was reluctant but he was persuasive and persistent and got me to agree that I would do it. Not that I don’t want to do the work, just that it’s a tremendous job.”
