“I have to recognize some of my own staff members. Alison Carroll McSlarrow has been my deputy Chief of Staff for the past couple of years. She has done a wonderful job. I have tried to talk her out of getting married and then out of moving to Arizona. But Kyle McSlarrow, who worked with me a while, and now works with Senator Coverdell, swept her off her feet and now off to Arizona. I will never quite get over what he has done to me. They are a great and wonderful couple. Alison has come to be one of my most trusted aides. She is so competent. I have always been able to rely on her. I will miss her tremendously. I wanted to have an expression of my appreciation in the Record for her. My counsel, Steve Seale, will be going downtown to work with a law firm, which will remain nameless for now. He is a close friend from my own State of Mississippi. He was a naval officer and he was a State Senator and had an outstanding law practice. He left that to come and work for me over the past 3 years. He has done an outstanding job. I wish him the very best in the future. Last but not least, I want to especially recognize our Sergeant at Arms, Gregg Casey.”
