I knew K. King Burnett well. He was a very liberal attorney and counselor of choice of Ilia Fehrer. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

(Pocomoke Public Eye- Ilia Fehrer was known for her dedication to environmental interests on the lower Eastern Shore including membership on the Committee to Preserve Assateague, and preservation efforts for the Pocomoke River and Nassawongo Creek.)
