Local People

Some local people

This is a small town in many ways.  To locals the most important thing about a person is his/her family.  It places him/her in the community and identifies a person’s loyalties and associations.

Putting faces to the local people: Not all the people are here but it is a start.  (if you would like to be introduced to the community here add a comment below)  The page focuses on individuals who work for the community.  The correct spelling of people’s names and their position in government or community organizations is all we need.  If you spot someone in the  photos for whom you can give us that please add a comment below.
