Above, former New Kent County Sheriff F.W. “Wakie” Howard Jr. (center, back) is accompanied by family during a bridge dedication ceremony in his honor on Nov. 9. The bridge, located at the border of Charles City and New Kent, was chosen to signify his hometown of Charles City and his 36 years of service to New Kent County as sheriff. Below, Howard becomes very emotional as the sign bearing his name is revealed for the very first time.
