Bill Stephan retiring after nearly 3 decades with Bates County


A special retirement luncheon was held for long time Bates County employee Bill Stephan on Wednesday, May 6th honoring him for 29 years of dedicated employment to the Bates County road and bridge department. 

Southern Commissioner Trent Nelson served up fish 'n fixins for the special day as Bill chatted with well-wishers throughout the afternoon.

Future plans? "We'll see. I can now do anything I want!" he merrily replied when asked what he'll do to fill the void.
