Farewell to a friend: Left, Greg Roland and other comrades of George Edward “Buster” Booth scatter his ashes May 29 in Byrd Park’s Swan Lake in a final farewell to a lifelong friend. Below left, James “Plunky” Branch, one of the close-knit group that grew up together in Richmond’s Randolph and Maymont neighborhoods, plays “Amazing Grace” on his saxophone ahead of the ash-scattering ceremony. Below right, a small memorial includes Mr. Booth’s obituary and photo. Former NBA star Bobby Dandridge and the Rev. Robert Winfree, who preached Mr. Booth’s eulogy, are among those who attended the ceremony that began at Byrd Park’s Shelter No. 1, one of Mr. Booth’s favorite places. Every year around Mr. Booth’s May 26 birthday, his friends would bring the longtime paraplegic to the shelter for an outing. Mr. Booth died Nov. 6, 2018, but friends waited to scatter his ashes near what would have been his 72nd birthday. Longtime friend Jerome F. Hughes, who helped organize the ceremony, said Swan Lake was chosen because as children, they were banned from what was then a whites-only place to swim. (Regina H. Boone/Richmond Free Press)

It’s official: J.E. Lincoln Saunders is now the chief administrative officer or No. 2 official at City Hall after Mayor Levar M. Stoney. Mr. Saunders, holding his year-old daughter, Story Hall-Saunders, and accompanied by his wife, Ashley Hall, is sworn in Tuesday by City Clerk Candice D. Reid, after City Council unanimously consented to the appointment by Mayor Stoney, holding the microphone. Mr. Saunders had been the acting CAO for nearly 11 months after his predecessor, Lenora Reid, suffered a stroke last year. In late August, Mayor Stoney announced Mr. Saunders as his choice to permanently fill the role after Ms. Reid formally retired. Mr. Saunders is to be paid nearly $200,000 a year. He has received mostly high marks since taking on the top administrative post that is essentially equivalent to city manager. He is the mayor’s most trusted confidante, having served as the mayor’s chief of staff during Mayor Stoney’s first four-year term.
