What changes has Anderson seen in his years in the county?

"You know, there used to be an IGA in Washington, a lot of people don’t know that,” said Anderson who finds grocery shopping the easiest in Warrenton.

Well, for one, Anderson remarked that “people are much more conservation minded than they used to be.”

“If we hold on to the present zoning laws, we should be able to keep things pretty much as they are,” said Anderson. “Td hate to see a developer come in.”

On the other hand, Anderson was quick to point out that while holding the line on development, it can hinder others.

“It certainly restricts what the young people are able to do,” added Anderson.

Now with just about 25 head of cattle on his farm, Anderson established his first herd of Registered Angus Cattle in 1968. In that same year, he became a member of the Rappahannock Lions Club where he continues to serve. He earned the Lion of the Year Award in 1997.

Over the years, Anderson has served on boards and committees too numerous to name but always with the same enthusiasm and passion for Rappahannock’s people and his commitment to serve them in the best way he can.

“I just really enjoy working with the people here,” summed up Anderson, “that’s my biggest eryoyment.”
