Those to whom we’ve said good-bye.

I find it disturbing that it’s common for people in all walks of life to use derogatory, hurtful, negative and harmful words.
My wife Beth and I have lived in many towns and different states in our lives. One factor common to the different locations is that each community had people who stepped forward and went above and beyond. We in Suffield have many past examples of such people: Lester Smith, Sam Fuller and Janet Banks to name a few. Recently I met with Bill Hawkins, Suffield Director of Planning and Development. Though not a resident he works tirelessly to better our community.
Approximately 120 people signed up to help pick up trash on the town roadways Saturday morning April 29.
