Concert for Granny D

Dear Friends,

The friends and neighbors of Doris "Granny D" Haddock have put together a concert to help Doris get her message out. I'm going to try to find a way back to New Hampshire from Arizona to be there for this event--Doris has earned our extra efforts!

If you can come, or even if you can't, please consider supporting her work by buying a ticket from the folks who are doing this for her.

I know the people of Peterborough may get a little tired of the fact that their town was where Thornton Wilder wrote "Our Town," and I know the other people of New Hampshire get sick of hearing about it, but, folks, this really is that kind of place, as are the other towns of New Hampshire. This is where democracy lives. Let's keep it growing, and Doris going!

Love,

Dennis Burke

I could not agree more with your assessment of "our town"...
