This week's issue illustrates once again how vibrant and industrious our communities are.

The Historical Society members, volunteers all, work in heat and cold upstairs in Pennell Institute with the sole purpose of protecting, preserving, and sharing Gray's history and culture. They do it so well, so consistently, and so magnanimously, too.

New Gloucester resident Micah Hilton's perseverance in illustrating, body and soul, that Multiple Sclerosis, while debilitating, does not define the person. His example of athleticism, persistence, and endurance are qualities that help inspire and ultimately strengthen our community.

The Gray Public Library's efforts to provide quality programming at no cost is another example of hard-working staffers and volunteers whose unfailing commitment to literacy is a community enhancer. It was quite a coup to have a New York Times bestselling author come speak and very generous of the local business to donate the furniture and decorations which would showcase our community to its best advantage.

Thank you all for allowing us to share these and other wonderful stories with the community at large. Our continued commitment is to you, the volunteers and community members, who inspire us. Sharing stories that in turn may inspire others is our privilege.
