LYNCHBURG, Va. Lynchburgs city manager received a well-deserved goodbye after 15 years of service. Bonnie Svcerk is retiring and on Friday, Lynchburg city staff, including police officers, firefighters and others surprised her with a retirement parade at City Stadium. My wish had been that I could ease out of city hall. If I had to do something big in public this was perfect, said Svcerk. Her retirement plans are to start a yarn small business, spend more time with family and be active on three community boards.
