Rebecca McCall recalled that in 1974 “a 17-year-old high school was invited to be part of a planning committee to develop what we now know as Jackson Park.” The new park was named for three-term Henderson County Commissioner Clyde Jackson, McCall’s grandfather, a primary supporter of the park. “That girl was me. It was that year that I set a goal for myself to one day hold the office of county commissioner,” she said during a candidate forum. “That was very forward thinking as no woman had ever held that office.”
