Former Stone wall-Hawthorn Supervisor H.B. Wood spoke in favor of Mr. Darby. “I can say the same nice things about Bob Darby, my neighbor. He has outlined his views, and he will do it. He has the interests of Rappahannock County at heart, and he will do a good job.”
Vinnie Carney of Woodville questioned how Mr. Darby plans to become involved in the community when, “your daughter is in school outside the county, and you go to church outside the county. It’s important that you become very involved in the community here . . . sitting on the board will not give you that involvement.”
Mr. Darby affirmed that he would continue what he had begun, going door to door to meet residents. “Some people want to preserve the county, and they are interested in zoning and the comprehensive plan. Others don’t, and they have real concerns.”
“Do you honestly feel,” Mrs. Carney continued, “that you can keep the best interests of my children when your daughter goes somewhere else?”
“I don’t want to move my child for the sake of appearances,” Mr. Darby replied. “All I can tell you is that I plan to involve myself personally with the people in the district.”
