Former nature circuit court clerk Margaret Nichols announced her retirement in late December and her retirement became effective January 1, bringing to an end a 28-year career in the clerk's office.

Many have retired and gone on, but they still come back to see me. And I enjoy the people coming in and talking to me. I will miss that. So many people would just come in and sit and talk with me. And I will miss that. For nearly a month after retiring, Nichols still came to work to clean out her office and to assist with the transition. She said she plans to stay busy in retirement with volunteer work and time with her family.

I'm just thankful that the people of Letra County have elected me for this long period of time. I feel like I have made a lot of good friends. I've always tried to be available to the public. But I just feel like it's time for me to move on and let someone else come in here and do their thing. Reporting in Weizberg for EKB News, I'm Chris Anderson.
