To the Editor:

In November I received an email from Christine Goretti who works at the highway garage. She wanted to know the history of the lights on the town holiday tree so that she could ensure that the tree was ready for the holiday season. Christine took the initiative, time, and care to find out what the history of the tree was. After speaking with Christine, I knew that the tree was in very good hands and would be beautiful for the holiday season and the annual Christmas in Stockbridge festivities. Thank you to Mike Canales for recognizing that Christine was the right person to oversee this project and our very sincere thanks to Christine for making the tree look the best it has ever looked.

Sincerely, Kate Fletcher and the former town holiday tree volunteers GeGe Kingston, Gary Pitney, and Bob Jones

To the editor: 

It is absolutely wonderful to have the Stockbridge Library Museum & Archives open again.

If you look to the right as you enter the door of the museum, you will notice a plaque on the wall. Mrs. Wilcox and Mrs. Pierce are each recognized for 30 years of service. They preserved the history.

There is a person who dedicated 23 years to the museum and who was responsible for designing and creating the new museum both times it was reconstructed. There seems to be no one on the library board who knows the history or appreciates the museum staff contribution to keeping the history accessible. The third person who deserves to be on that wall into the museum is Barbara Allen.
