To The Editor,
I am pleased and honored to announce my candidacy to serve on the Select Board of Groton.
More than anything else, I think it’s time to have a Select Board member who can listen. It’s time for common sense and civility to be the norm, not the exception, for the debate of...
To The Editor,
Congratulations to the people of Groton for attending the Town Meeting and voting with the Finance Committee, 6-0, the Task Force 4-1, and the Select Board, 4-1 to accept the justification of Chief McCurdy that more help was needed.

To The Editor,
The audience at Saturday’s performance of Patriots’ Paths: Groton 1765-1776 left with many lessons from the founding of our nation, including this one: town meetings played a big role in founding our nation.

Playing the role of Groton’s last enslaved person at "Patriots Paths."
