Over the course of my 15 years in the community newspaper business, I've been to more than my fair share of chamber of commerce banquets. Of course, that means I've also heard plenty of keynote speakers.
Without a doubt, Thursday night's featured speaker at the 103rd Terrell Chamber of Commerce Membership Banquet was the best.
I'll admit this was not the first event I'd attended where WFAA Channel 8 news anchor John McCaa had spoken. However, the message he delivered last night to a crowded room at Furlough Middle School was one that I think any Terrell resident or business owner would have been proud to hear.
