The Luck o' the Jordans

 

Did you ever feel if not for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all? All of us do from time to time. Well, perhaps not the Jordan family.

Consider that in 2013, Libby Watts Jordan (wife of Florence councilman Dick) was one of 30 candidates for the position of director at the Rosenbaum Home. Her expertise? Most bios list her degree as in geology; however, we have to speculate that it's actually geography. No matter which, it certainly wasn't in the arts or history.

Now consider that in 2021, Bill Jordan (son of Dick) was one of 39 who applied to become the newest director of the parks and recreation department. Bet you can't guess who got that little plum.

But wait, there's apparently more. Bill says that he's worked for the Florence Electricity Department for 23 years...and for 23 years has been a supervisor. That means, at the approximate age of 28, young Bill was hired to serve in a supervisory position. 

When Libby Jordan was selected as director of the Rosenbaum Home, there was at least one lawsuit filed amid the 29 losers. Now that there are 38 losers in this newest appointment, should the citizens of Florence expect to pay more legal fees?
