Bye, Ben Konop. Hello, Harry Barlos.

Well, it seems that Ben Konop must have gotten the word. He has apparently decided not to seek re-election to the Board of Lucas County Commissioners. You may read about it here. Gee, I wonder if Ben ever read any of my Roland Hansen Commentary "Ben Konop" entries. I think the departure of Ben Konop is just fantastic news.

On another happy note, it seems as though Harry Barlos, former Administrator of the Village of Holland Ohio and former Lucas County Commissioner and former Lucas County Clerk of Courts and former Mayor of the City of Maumee, is coming back into elective politics. I first met Harry way back when he was a page for the late great Vern Riffe, Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, and when he made his first attempt in the mid 1970s at elective politics in seeking the Ohio House seat that was held by incumbent John A. Galbraith. Harry has filed to run for the 46th district seat of Ohio House of Representatives. Mark Dansack is not seeking that seat this year, nor is he seeking the seat for Lucas County Commissioner, but Mr. Dansack has echoed my sentiments in wishing Harry Barlos well in his quest.

Roland,

I too welcome Harry back; he's one of the god guys IMNHO.

Make that "good guys."

Every time I post without previewing, I spell something wrong...

Well, Dave, in Harry's younger years, he DID have the looks of a Greek god.

Roland,

My slip and your subsequent comment just might have given lesser (more vain) men a very large head amigo ;-)

But I believe Harry to be above and beyond that :-)

Dave,
Actually when Harry was a much younger man, I was always reminded of Omar Sharif when I looked at him.
