Exactly four years ago today I was delighted to learn that I was one of five
people appointed to the newly created Historical Commission. As a newcomer
to the town I was espec_ially_pleasent._Since..__that—t+mom T
have served on the Commission with much enjoyment. And in the course of that
time it has been my pleasure to meet many fine people --fellow members of the
'Commission, elected officials, and Town Hall employees.
I will no longer be able to serve on the Commission because I am moving to
f Ann Arbor, Michigan to resume research on my dissertation for the Ph.D. in
American Culture. While I look forward to returning to the University of
Michigan, I will take with me fond memories of both the Commission and the
town.
