The Richmond County Chamber of Commerce honored Dr. Alonzo Hook Covington as the 2011 Citizen of the Year at the 29th Annual Meeting and Recognition Night on Thursday. Covington and his wife Pat have three daughters, Jennifer, Jessie and Christie, and five grandchildren who all live in Richmond County. His daughter, Jennifer Murray, spoke to the crowd in Cole Auditorium about her father. “As my dad will often tell you, God Volunteers repair leads him to do the things he does,” said Murray. “It takes a special man to juggle what my dad can juggle, and still make time for his family. It’s rare that I’ve ever heard a negative word come from him, and while we’re here to celebrate this award - I celebrate wood duck boxes the difference he’s made in his family.” Dawn M. Kurry The same happened to Ben when he should clean out old nests, removing old Murray went on to say that her Richmond County Daily Journal was moving a box that an owl had taken nesting material, eggs and membranes, father was so touched when he learned up residence in.
