The emotion was heard in the voices, seen in the eyes and felt in the hearts Tuesday night as the Greater Chiefland Chamber of Commerce named Luther and Kay Drummond its Citizens of the Year.
Don Quincey, speaking on behalf of the community, said the recognition given the couple wasn't simply for a single event or year, but recognized a lifetime of achievement and giving to the people and community of Chiefland.
Luther Drummond has always been a civic mover and shaker, Quincey said, starting with his Lions Club presidency in 1971.
From helping acquire marching band uniforms, hosting teas, holding Easter egg hunts, serving in the Coast Guard and helping save the Chief Theatre, the Drummonds have consistently been invested in the city of Chiefland and its people.
"I list these things, not to fill a page," Quincey said, "but to demonstrate the Drummonds did more than their part."
The Drummonds have done good business here, Quincey said, and in turn they have helped many others do business.
