Ralph Loses High Bailiff Race

For the second time, Ralph decided to enter the race for High Bailiff of Windsor County.  The first time, in the Presidential election of 2008, he was a write-in candidate.  In a nip-n-tuck election, he was just barely beaten by a 23,000 to 72 vote.  This time, he decided to have his name printed on the Democratic ballot.  The result was 3211-1346 defeat.  According to reports, Ralph is considering a third run in 2012 on either the Tory or Whig ticket.

Janet Takes Stenciling Class at Fletcher Farm

In August, Janet participated in an arts and crafts class at Fletcher Farm dealing with stencils.  She, along with several Ludlow friends, enjoyed learning more about the art form and producing some fine art for the home at Whispering Pines - and elsewhere.  Some photos of her week at Fletcher Farm are available by clicking here.
