Thanksgiving Dinner at Putney Inn

Allan came up from Springfield and joined Janet, Jeffrey, and Ralph for Thanksgiving 2008 dinner at the Putney Inn in Putney, VT. We all had too much to eat; nonetheless, we managed to do a good job cleaning our plates. We enjoyed a very pleasant meal with good company.

Pace Ponders Recount in High Bailiff Race

Following an extremely close race for High Bailiff of Windsor County (see local results below), Ralph Pace decided to concede the race as "the honorable thing to do". Pace did indicate that he was seriously thinking about seeking the office in 2010. "Much will depend on whether the County institutes the new position of Sheriff of Nottingham," he noted. Pace said that "Robin and his merry men had already been in contact with me on this issue."

He said his only disappointment was that "I had to return the royal purple robes I rented for the position. They looked so cool!"

Pace indicated that having your name on the printed ballot apparently was an advantage he overlooked.
