Dear Friends: It has been my privilege to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Canton Public Library since 1977. It is now time for me to step down.

I’ve been following this election closely but didn’t know who I would support until I heard Stephen Lynch talking about his efforts to protect Social Security.

Dear Editor: Stoughton and Sharon have gorgeous community centers, primarily filled with us seniors. Their lectures, yoga and aerobics classes are things of joy.
