[StBernard] Clerk of Court

[Westley Annis]

I don't recall ever saying "because of her age of 87" - did you know that
judges are REQUIRED to retire at a certain age regardless of their
competency?  Is that age discrimination?  Maybe so, but it is the law.  I
was merely pointing out just another fact.....excuse me for stating the
facts.....my bad!  

I certainly believe age is a factor in this matter ONLY for the reason that
she runs the clerk's office in an antiquated matter and it affects me
directly (and everyone else in this parish).  Times have changed and she has
been slow to follow suit (my opinion, of course).
