Letter to the Editor: Thanks to police details

by | Sep 7, 2022 | Letter to Editor

We owe our police staff, men and women, a big thank you as you direct us as we drive around all the road work downtown. The severe heat and strong sunshine made it a challenge for each one of you.

Thank you. You have strength and courage.

— Mary McLeod, Hopkinton
