He would have enjoyed and cheered your use of his words to discuss our history at Grace Church and his dedication to improving politics in Plainfield. Dad was, I believe, a former community volunteer member of the School Board, years ago, and a member of the League of Women Voters. We have shared this link with friends because it is such a great tribute. Thank you again.

And there is nothing to boast about Plainfield. I see nothing wrong with looking to towns that have had some of the same problems as Plainfield and turned it around! why not learn from success stories, I think the adage fork Plainfield is that ," things are screwed up because people want them to be." Why can't we take old abandoned warehouses and attract artists. They are wonderful at developing communities. They have the imagination. Why can't we attract a burin we downtown, a large one, that will employ people. Businesses have a knack for attracting hotels, restaurants, etc., All we ever come up with in this town is mixed retail space and affordable housing. Truly a lack of imagination, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
