An(x(xaa153/n while it lasted. A good evening vigorously spent. That's just one pep talk that made everyone feel good. Period. How much time do busy residents spend on broad questions like town manager government? Not much. Springing a hearing out of a clear blue sky needs more than a "notice." Plenty of talk - honest, if possible, in the media and in the streets - might make a difference. Voting takes on a meaning. EDUCATOR FOREVER - Sen. David Magnani was a man vitally interested in others as he was a man who made some changes in MetroWest. Three years in Sierre Leone with the Peace Corps was vital to David. He never forgot the need to help the helpless get on in this world. We can list the number of years and accomplishments he made in 20 years on the Hill. But I like to recall David's fondness for that rare educator in Brazil who felt the way to help was to make sure the uneducated become learners in ways that would help them feel encouraged to make their way in life. In a slightly different way there are many in Ashland, searching for a way to afford help for growing families. How? David organized a mutual assistance group. Mothers banded and made it possible for all to share care for their families. On his own, Magnani sought out a help-all combination of industry and homemakers solve their growing problems along 495. Slowly, t made MetroWest known statewide. _________________________________ You can reach Bob Moore at edmoore4@aol.com or at 1-508-620-1449.
