Letter: Selectman Facing Challenges Ahead

This letter was submitted by a Needham resident and member of the Board of Selectmen.

Dear Needham friends,

I want to share with you that I am dealing with some very serious medical issues concerning cancer.

Despite those issues, I intend to continue fulfilling my obligations as a member of your Board of Selectmen and currently as the chairman. (Yes, I am also planning to perform with my band on New Year’s Eve.) The best aspect of being on the board has always been that it has made me feel so much a part of our community. I love this community and I find great joy in knowing that I can call so many of you my friends.
