To The Editor,
I would like to take this opportunity to explain my view of the recent discord on the Groton Board of Selectmen. Let me start by stating that this is my opinion as an individual and does not necessarily express those views of other members.
The obvious reason to be a Selectman is...

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor:
Let's see how this works - it appears to me, through watching the selectman's meetings on television and reading the local papers , that:
Stuart blames Jack for the problems
Josh wants Anna to resign
Peter asks for copies of all Jack's e-mails
Anna and Stuart complain...
To Chief Steele McCurdy and the Groton Fire Department:
