It speaks to a sad perception – or reality – in town these days that some parents are concerned that because I don’t have children, I may not value our schools.

How did it come to this?

My first “Monday Morning at the Black Sheep” was terrific!  I met great people, heard a lot of interesting thoughts and views about how things work in town, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations.

Sure, there’s wood and nails too, but the real structure of Kathy and Rachel Perry’s new house on Stanley Street is human kindness.
