Kevin English was always good for a news tip. After he found PotomacLocal.com, he would send me story ideas that would often have to do with Dumfries. In some cases he probably knew more about what was happening inside of Town Hall than some who actually work there. It shouldn’t come as a surprise because he served on the Town Council and ran for mayor.
English passed away Sunday at age 57, and all this week has been remembered as someone who cared deeply about his community. I always appreciated his willingness to reach out and to be open and honest about what he thought.
