I just got in from the High School graduation. It was a cold and wet day and the graduation was held outdoors. I was in attendance as a member of our town's Board of Selectmen. I really felt bad for the young women who were wearing open-toed shoes and shorts under their graduation garb.

The graduating class was 83 in number. Their first 3 years were the pandemic years so, they never really had but 1-year in a normal classroom setting.  CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2023 now take your dreams and go conquer the world.

Next on today's agenda is our retiring police chief's (38 years on the force) department retirement party. Our State Senator presents the Chief with a Massachusetts Senatorial Citation.

My father drilled it into our heads... it is very important to be involved in our communities and, you don't say no when your government calls you. Volunteerism is what makes a community, state, and nation run. A good community with strong community values experiences rising values in real estate. and enjoyable life.

It's good to start early, I agree, but even into our 70s and beyond there will be volunteer opportunities present themselves.

Good Morning Ed Silva 

I look at the pandemic years and trials as a strengthening factor and a huge lesson in adapting to conditions not accepted. I believe they will be stronger for it

Good Morning Brian England 

This year the graduating class numbered 87. It was the smallest class in a while. More students are opting to go to the 2 local technical high schools. In my day, it was known as trade school

Hi Joan Cox 

We are doing well. It's a quiet weekend. Yesterday, we went to the Rye Harbah Lobstah Pound (a yearly thing we do) to get our favorite meal called a "Fluffy" It's 16oz of Clam Chowdah ladened with lobstah claw and tail. It's maybe 17 miles from us up the coast. Perfect day, mid-70s and no humidity with a light breeze blowin' in from the ocean
