Community Notes

A Special Thank you to Stockbridge Fire Chief Vincent Garofoli and his department who stood post throughout the night of March 7. During the during the severe windstorm, Stockbridge firemen and EMTs were joined by the Stockbridge Police Department and the Stockbridge Highway Department. Thank you all for watching over us.

A Special Happy Birthday to nonagenarian Claire Williams — still charming and lovely after nine decades. Claire and her elementary school chum from the Plain School (now Town Offices) are still pals, doing lunch on Thursdays, and that, my friends, is the Stockbridge way.

Welcome back Officer Rosario Messina. Thank you, Stockbridge Department Police Chief Fennelly, for a choice that demonstrates your sensitivity to community policing. We remember Messina fondly and are pleased he is returning.
