To the editor:

Just a huge thank-you to the Brown County Highway Department.

Rob Jacobs and his crew worked on replacing my plugged culvert last week. The crew was very professional and did a fantastic job. They then cleaned out the ditches on both sides of the road as needed. They had to work through the rain, and numerous drivers that gave them little leeway and failed to slow down for the work zone.

Please slow down and give these guys the room they need to perform their jobs safely.

Again, thank you for a job well done.

Duane Parsons, Hassetown Road
