Tributes
Many were saddened recently to learn that the well-respected
longstanding community leader and former Carroll County commissioner, John L.
Armacost, died January 13.
I had the privilege and honor to work for Commissioner
Armacost in several capacities in the 1980s when he was in office from 1982 to
1986 with Jeffrey Griffith and William V. Lauterbach. From 1986 to 1990,
Commissioner Armacost served with Commissioner Griffith and then-newcomer,
Julia Walsh Gouge.
In those years I served the county during Commissioner
Armacost’s term in office on a number of state and county boards and
commissions including the county landscape manual committee and the tree
preservation committee, in addition to the Maryland Department of Natural
Resources Forestry Board, and numerous agricultural committees with the
University of Maryland and the County Extension Service.
I also worked with Dr. Raymond J. Miller, the University of
Maryland's Vice Chancellor for Agricultural Affairs, on panel luncheons on
present and future challenges to the Carroll and Frederick County agricultural
community. The sustainability of the business of agriculture was consistently
an important issue for Commissioner Armacost and I recall well his keen
interest in those discussions.
Commissioner Armacost served as president of the Carroll
County Board of Commissioners from 1982 to 1990. During his tenure he was well
known for his sound conservative management of the county budget and his
thorough knowledge of the nuts and bolts of how a county works on a day-to-day
basis… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5609
