With emphasis applied: …There’s GOT to be a contact point (other than to give him money) for the campaign, right? To … Read more

I heartily endorse Michelle Tyler for one of the two open School Board seats in Gilford! I’ve met with her on several occasions and listened to her during School Board meetings arguing that the Board MUST listen to Parents more and acknowledge that Parents are the ultimate authority when it comes to their children.

Heh! And who says that there is no humor in wartime?
