Alright then, I gotta tell you my favorite mayor story. It happened three
years ago, when I was serving on the Bd of Directors for the American Stage=
Festival, then 25 years old and a now defunct due to lack of money for live=
theatre. It was also time-consuming if you did it right. Mrs. Janice
Streeter was also a faithful member of that board, and happens to run
"Cookies By Design" in Nashua, and to be wife of another friend, the
present Mayor of Nashua, NH, Mayor Bernie Streeter, just reelected to his
second term. Jan happens to be an excellent story-teller, as well.
One early winter stormy night, Jan was driving home, amid blowing snow and=
slush and hit a bump that blew out her right front tire. She pulled off
the road and dialed home and got her son and husband. She said: "I am
taking a cab home, please deal with the car, I am leaving it at XYZ."
So, about an hour later after dark, son and husband dutifully arrived in
another car at XYZ Street and changed the tire. Just as they were
finishing up, a tow-truck pulled up, set his lights aflashing and
dismounted to supervise. He asked if they needed help. "No, thanks very
much, we're about done." said Bernie. The truck operator walked around and=
surveyed the scene. "Oh, hit a pot hole did you? Lots of potholes! I'll
tell you to do what I always tell my customers to do and what I do myself:=
Call the Mayor. Tell him about all the potholes." - - - you know the
rest. . . Bernie replied: "I am the mayor."
GOOD LUCK DOUG! NOW YOU ARE THE MAYOR.
I send my best regards,
