Santa Claus.^ Now, I have been appointed a Commissioner of the Town of Highland Beach which makes me very proud and makes me feel like a young baseball player who has been called up to play ir~t~ze Big Leagues. It is somevrhat a touch of iron* ghat I am replacing a person whom I, and many others, helped to elect to office ~.ast year but agair_st whom I worked twiee as hard in this year's election to prevent him from .serving as our Mayor. Thank God treat another 1,208 of our Town's residents felt the same tivay as I did. Niy fondest wish is ti~at ir~ayor 3oulay and the other members of the new Town ComuL~ssion will do their utmost to win back the support of the other 111 voters who did not Vote as we olid. I am of the opinion th:::t :r~ have reached a ne•rr milestone in the Tovrn of Highland Beach. ~~Yith the experience, talent, inte~ity, camaraderie and youth o~ the members of this Tovrn Commission, I believe that you will see a welcome end to the bygone era of clicues, ~A~='_ poower seeking, grandstanding and personal animosities and vendettas. Instead, I foresee a team of town officials rvho vrill work together in harmony for the gooa of this beautiful, clean litter free and wonderful Town.;0ur residents expect and deserve that type of government and there isn't~~•any reason why we can't deliver it to thee. ;;; TH~iNK 'SOU . ~ ~, John F.
