The region lost another leader on Sunday when former Jobs Plus President Bob Potter died at age 87. "Our community just lost a great community leader," said Katie Brodie, who helped Potter ramp up Jobs Plus when it was established in 1987. "He really was one of the good guys." That is evident in the many accolades Potter received since moving to Hayden Lake in 1987. Potter spent 36 years with AT&T, and in 1983 he was named vice president of sales for the western region. After retiring from that job, Potter spent two years as president and chief operating officer for a company called Incomnet, Inc., but that was short-lived because he and his wife, Patty, wanted to find a nice place by the water to retire. He found that in Kootenai County/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
