About 15 years ago, former Camden City Councilman Nick Lampshire asked me to meet him in the KFC parking lot on East DeKalb Street. It was a little of an unusual request -- he usually dropped into our offices on the other side of downtown when he wanted to talk about something. At the time, Lampshire was the city’s representative to the Santee-Lynches Council of Governments and he had, literally, gotten back from a meeting with them in Sumter.
