To The Editor:
Over the past 25+ years I have been a fixture, for better and worse, in our municipal government. In a few months I will turn 74 and, as I age, I wish to focus my efforts on matters that, I believe, will most benefit my community and give me the greatest satisfaction. That includes focusing my work at the Pine Hill Meadow Garden and building houses with Habitat for Humanity. Something has to give and that is my participation on the Select Board. Consequently, I will not be seeking re-election to the board.

I thought you wrote “fixer” rather than “fixture.” We need a fixer fixture.
Sorry to hear your decision! You have always been the most informative and understanding board member. I fully understand your decision in me being 73 have a lot of things I want to do! Best of luck!
I want to thank Al Hamilton for all his years of service to the Town. I’ve always found him to be a pleasure to work with. He has been an energetic, thoughtful, humane and persistent force for the community’s benefit.
