Profile In Decency
Here's a story to cheer you up:
L.F. Eason III gave up the only job he'd ever had rather than lower a flag to honor former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms. Eason,
a 29-year veteran of the state Department of Agriculture, instructed
his staff at a small Raleigh lab not to fly the U.S. or North Carolina
flags at half-staff Monday, as called for in a directive to all state
agencies by Gov. Mike Easley. When a superior ordered the lab to
follow the directive, Eason decided to retire rather than pay tribute
to Helms. After several hours' delay, one of Eason's employees hung the
flags at half-staff.
Eason is 51. Retirement was not imminent.
