In 2017, Talbot County Sheriff Joe Gamble (left) and Tidewater Rotarian Lucie Hughes founded an untested substance abuse awareness campaign to engage the Talbot County community, particularly families, to be more informed about the danger of drugs.
As Talbot Goes Purple enters its seventh year, the Spy spent some time last week talking to Sheriff Gamble about this important partnership with Talbot County Public Schools, Saints Peter & Paul School, and Mid-Shore Community Foundation.
In our conversation, Joe makes a strong case that Talbot Goes Purple is making progress but also notes that our local battle to fight drug abuse will be a long one.
