Retiring Douglas County official recalls stirring career
The long service of Jim Flory spans sheriff office jail duties to a federal post and county commission leadership. He reflects on changes since 1966, recalls key cases, and cites bipartisanship in steering the county through recession while planning retirement and future advisory roles. He quotes a retiring FBI agent about missing the people rather than the circus.
