A host of Democratic Party leaders were on hand to tall tales on the sheriff, but moat complimented Ponder on his long career and poked fun at his driving style. Haywood County Sheriff Jack Arr ington told the gathering of 350, "You talk abaut high technology, Sheriff | Ponder doesn't have to watch the road. He keeps his eye on the trees. Where the trees aren't, that's where the road is." Wayne McDevitt represented Gov. James B. Hunt at the roast McDevitt read a letter of appreciation from Gov. Hunt to Sheriff Ponder and a se cond proclamation designating the day as 'Bob Swain Day.' McDevitt complimented Ponder for providing his deputies with 'designer' uniforms and the most up-to-date patrol cars. Referring to the sheriff's habit of keeping scores of notes in his shirt pocket, McDevitt said, "He has a computerized filing system. Everything goes in 'P' for pocket." McDevitt compared Ponder with a loaf of French bread, "Not much dough, but a lot of crust." Dr. H.E. Hinman, the Buncombe County medical examiner praised Ponder saying, "He has the quaint old custom of answering the telephone himself. He loves the peo ple of Madison County and of this state." Elspeth Clarke, wife of the 11th District congressman said Sheriff Ponder went into law enforcement because he was left in charge of his brothers and sisters when they were children. Speaker of the House Liston Ramsey told of the time he and the sheriff went to a funeral together in Waynes ville Ramsey said he in troduced the sheriff to an old man who asked, "Say your name is Ponder, eh? You any kin of that Bruno Ponder who's always raising hell?" The man was referring to the sheriff's younger brother, Zeno. Ramsey told the gathering, Ponder told the man, 'Naw, I've never heard of him." Recalling the many times he's call ed on Ponder s assistance, Haywood County Sheriff Jack Arrington said, "I've called him in the dark of night, in snows, rain and hailstorms. He should' ve been a mailman." Buncombe County Sheriff Tom Morrissey said Ponder decided to run for sheriff after serving on the county school board. "He decided law en from running for sheriff. "I told him it wasn't worth it, but that I'd support him so the family wouldn't be embar rassed. He disregarded my advice and after 90 years of that foolishness, I agreed to support him if he would promise to investigate my death if I don't live to be 100. He's been a good friend and brother and I love him." Speaking of the sheriff. State Sen. Robert Swain, a former Madtan County solicitor, said, "I learned a whole lot about living from him. He's a man I admire. He's loyal to his country and his God, his family and the Democratic Party." Swain presented Ponder with a sketch of a portrait he has commis sioned. After listening to the many speakers, the sheriff told his friends, "I was worried that you might talk to Mrs. Ponder and that she'd tell you the truth." Countering the criticism of his driv ing habits, the sheriff said, "A lot of people don't know when they have a good driver."
