ALCALDE
Next Honorary Alcalde is selected
James D. Metzger, a resident and community leader here since 1976, was selected by the City Council as Sonoma's Honorary Alcalde for 1987 during an executive session at the Oct. 14 council meeting.
Mayor Jerold Tuller said the vote for Metzger was unanimous.
"Jim is an outstanding addition to the impressive list of dedicated Sonomans who have been honored as Alcaldes for exemplary community service," the mayor said.
To receive the ALCALDE nomination, from the City of Sonoma, was the highest honor I have ever received. Sonoma has more dedicated volunteers than any place Verna and I have ever lived, and many have given years of service. A very close friend and confidante, Florence Evans, asked to submit my name for consideration. I am convinced, had she not done this, I would not have received the nomination. My relationship with the community has continued to be enhanced by this appointment, and I will always be grateful to Florence Evans.
