SENATOR A.B. SWINDELL SPEAKS AT HCC

State Senator A.B. Swindell spoke to Halifax Community College students last month as a guest of the English and humanities departments at the college.

Senator Swindell, a familiar face on the political scene who lives in Nashville, is a supporter and a former graduate himself of the community college system. He was a teacher and a coach in North Carolina before working as an administrative assistant to the former Congressman, Tim Valentine.

He talked to the students about the current economy and particularly how it is affecting the future of Halifax County and the Roanoke Valley. The senator listened attentively to the questions from the standing-room-only crowd and spent a substantial part of his hour at the campus answering questions from the audience.
