Residents honor Fran Havens and board observes moment of silence for two residents
Summary
Public commenter Alice Gerard remembered Fran Havens for kindness and community service; the board later closed the meeting with a moment of silence for Francis Havens and Doris Meyer.
Alice Gerard spoke during the agenda-limited public comment period to honor the late Fran Havens. Gerard said she had been Havens' gardener and recalled personal kindnesses and town service, including preparing food for highway workers during the blizzard of 1977: "She was a very kind woman who sent me cards for my birthday and cards for Christmas... She told me that during the blizzard of 77... she made food for them and made sure that they had the food that she had prepared for them." Gerard said she would "dearly miss her."
At the meeting's close the Supervisor announced the board would observe a moment of silence in memory of Francis Havens and Doris Meyer.
Why it matters: public comment provided personal testimony about a long-time town resident and employee; the board's moment of silence recorded municipal acknowledgement of recent deaths in the community.
