Former
Governor Fordice visits Cleveland
Mississippi's
first Republican governor since Reconstruction,
Kirk Fordice, has recently made several trips
to Cleveland, arriving in his own twin engine
plane. Fordice, who served as the state's
highest elected official from 1992 to 2000,
has spent time working with Delta Business
Journal Executive Editor, Jack Criss,
who is writing the authorized biography of
the governor entitled Steel Will: The
Life of Kirk Fordice. The two have know
each other for many years.
According to Criss, the book is in the beginning
stages but should be complete before the end
of next summer. "It's a pleasure having the
Governor and his wife, Ann, fly up to visit,"
Criss says. Fordice himself has remarked how
much he enjoys the trips and what a great
community Cleveland is. An accomplished pilot,
Fordice plans to make more trips to Cleveland
as work on the book progresses.
"We spend several hours together, primarily
with me interviewing the governor about his
life," Criss says. "When we're through working,
Governor Fordice likes to see the local sights
with his wife, and has told me that he truly
loves the area."

began in 1923, will becelebrating 80 years of service on December
