Rest in Peace North Carolina House Representative Dr. Fulghum...

About a year ago I went on a campaign to contact members of the North Carolina House of Representatives to urge our representatives to review teacher pay and benefits.  The letter I wrote in one of the first posts on my blog (You can scroll down and find the letter.)  At the time I invited any representative to tour a school in Wake County to see, first hand, the typical day of a teacher.

Of all the Representatives that I contacted Dr. Fulghum was the ONLY person to actually call me to have a conversation about his interest in visiting a school and show genuine interest in coming to the aid of educators.  Needless to say I was thrilled to hear from someone because I never expected to be contacted by mail much less get a phone call from a member of the House of Representatives. 

But I heard from Dr. Fulghum.

He was a true defender of the people and will be sorely missed by many.
