Eustace Municipal Court Clerk Lou Sanderson was on the job for her last day today. She is retiring after 20 years with the city, nearly all as the municipal court clerk.

“It is a very difficult job, because the nature of the job is to deal with people who have tickets, so they’re not very happy when they walk into this building,” said Eustace Mayor Elicia Sanders. “Through all that time she has been able to keep her sense of humor and keep a soft heart toward people who are experiencing genuine trials and we are going to miss her quite a bit.”
