ASHFORD: On Monday evening there was a meeting of the Foundation Members of Ashford Academy. The hot topic was about the school closing.
In the meeting the Board Members stated the decision had just been made the week before, specifically on Tuesday.
Questions from the audience and specifically addressed to Rickey Stokes was, how did Rickey Stokes know? From the audience, I was specifically asked to give up my source.
UNDERSTAND, I never give up my sources!!! NEVER....
I just grinned. In fact Dothan City Manager Mike West has bragged that he has killed my sources within the City of Dothan. LOL - WRONG!!!
What was obvious in the meeting - Rickey Stokes article was correct. But some were more interested in how Rickey Stokes knew then was the message the school is closing.
Always people want to shoot the messenger rather than LISTENING to the message!
One other thing, Board Chair Bob Key stated in the meeting they asked the media to leave but they did not for the meeting. YOUR WELCOME BOB! Had the media left, the board would have probably been skinned like a catfish. The media being present actually worked to your favor.
ASHFORD ACADEMY needs money, students and free labor.
Do not always shoot the messenger.
