It isn’t often that we have the opportunity to wish one of our own well as they venture forward.
We did – with our combined best wishes.
At least we (collectively) gave Gregory T. Federspiel, town manager, a good send-off.
I think the Flag Day (June 14) aspect turned out well. The weather cooperated.
I am hopeful that Greg, on reflection, found the sentiments honest and truthful: He will be missed!
I think we wished him well. He’ll have good memories of his time in Lenox, as he should.
And beyond this, the Lenox Library is a hallmark in our downtown historic area. The ringing of the bell by Greg was beautiful both in substance and in sound.
It all came together: Lenox Memorial High and Middle School Band, VFW color guard, elected leaders, town personnel and our newspaper staff.
Thanks again, Greg, for your commitment and good service.
