Active and real civic engagement on both accounts re Gibson and Roger. They couldn’t have predicted our current Age of Imitation wherein people are absorbed in electronic self-worlds, where it’s no longer what was said but who said what. Education and critical thinking and caring for the community are the only ways out of this soulless cyberswamp.

Alvah W Gibson lived in Rindge. I've not come across his name before today in any town report or newspaper article dealing with New Ipswich. If Alvah is related to Stillman it must go back 100 yrs.

James mentions Ed Wheeler. He was an example of public servant like Ashley was. He was Chief of police at the time of James writing. Dixon Wheeler was Fire Chief. I wonder what the vote against 'License' was about.
