14 April 2015 To: Superintendent Wes Taylor From: John Wallace Isom Jr., a.k.a. The U-Can! Man (www.johntheucanman.com) We (Karen and John Isom) Value Your Team’s Super Work and We Salute/Thank You 2007 – Present Superintendent Wes Taylor, we feel compelled to take a moment to share and say thanks. My bride Karen Isom of 24 years, a 1988 Lowndes Vikings graduate, demanded that we select Lowndes County as our retirement location. I retired from the United States Army on November 30, 2007, after serving 25 ½ years, and we then honored her request. Karen was 100% sure the Lowndes County Vikings school system would provide our children with a quality education. Eight years later, I see this reality for myself. I have been sharing this fact across America, and we are pleased with the super education our children are experiencing. Thank you again! Here is the Isom family’s GO VIKINGS story.
