Today we honor a very special Marionville Citizen – Jeff Norris. Today would have been Jeff’s 65th birthday. I know many of the school staff and others around town are wearing their shirts to honor Jeff today – we are wearing ours too! Jeff was recently awarded the Applefest Golden Apple award for all of his contributions to the Marionville Community. We want to encourage everyone listening to carry on the legacy and to do life the “Jeff Norris Way”. Decide today to do something for someone else without anything in return. See where you can meet a need or simply put a grin on someone’s face. Choose to help fill the gap that his life has left and choose the “Jeff Norris Way” just like the honorary name of his street. Happy Birthday in Heaven – Jeff. City
