The Observer’s newest feature appears here. In an earlier edition I had written that a friend suggested that our community would enjoy reading about the many people, either from or still residing in Suffield, who are making their mark in the world and have experienced success in their chosen field. The idea has received a favorable response and we have begun to receive excellent suggestions of potential candidates. One reader, Joanne Sullivan, suggested the column be named “Suffield’s Pride”, which we thought beautifully captures the goal of the feature. So, with thanks to Joanne for the name, we begin with the first column of “Suffield’s Pride” which we hope will become a popular mainstay of the Observer.
