FLORIDA LOSES A GREAT PUBLIC SERVANT

Ed Chance of Manatee County, a great friend of agriculture and a model public servant, died June 26. Mr. Chance was appointed to serve on the Southwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board in 2000 and subsequently in 2001 and 2005. He also served on the Resource Management and Development Committee, the Outreach and Planning Committee, and as the co-chair ex officio of the Manasota Basin Board. His untiring service to the people of Manatee County will be greatly missed.
