To The Editor:
This past weekend I attended a candidate meet and greet event, where a resident praised Newtown residents for their show of courtesy toward each other.
During a campaign, it is common to be asked questions or met with serious concerns, but it is rare to hear praise for the town and its residents.
The compliment was naturally followed by the question, how do we ensure that such a nice part of being a Newtown resident is preserved in the future.
This is a fair question, especially in a world where social media can make the world feel like an increasingly negative place.
My first thought was that we have to start at the top.
Author's summary: Newtown residents show courtesy towards each other.
