Imagining an El Jobean without Randy Spence
PROVIDED BY PAT SPENCE
Longtime El Jobean community activist Randy Spence earned the title "Mr. El Jobean." Spence, 74, died at his home Wednesday.
Whenever I drive through El Jobean, which is just about every day, I find myself slowing down.
One day, someone noticed this habit and asked me why. It took a couple of seconds but the answer was right there: More than a decade ago, Randy Spence told me he was worried that widening State Road 776 would cause people to speed even faster through El Jobean.
