Apparently someone doesn't think Jennifer O'Neil has enough on her plate in her full-time job. She also got a write-in vote for School Committee. Informed of the write-in this morning, O'Neil said she was flattered, but thought the vote might be a bit misguided. "I don't even have a child in the school system, so I don't keep up with the school business,'' she said, chuckling. "So I wouldn't be a good School Committee candidate.'' Hers wasn't the only name written in by voters at yesterday's election. Nearly 30 names got at least one write-in vote. Some are known on the national stage, others are very recognizable in town. But all share one common denominator: They fell far short of the winning totals. Others who received write-ins include: Selectmen: Dennis Pierce School Committee: Dennis Pierce Philip Grandin Ellen Dowling Ron Paul Planning Board: Richard Quist Thomas Nicalek Robert Nault Mark Prunier Elizabeth Nichols Library Trustees: Richard Quist Grace Quist Dennis Pierce Megan Quist Philip Grandin Mary Murray David Rice Jacqueline Donadio Don Chouinard Rosemary Flynn June Nelson John Harrington Ron Paul Elaine Najemy Charles Offdenson Corey Leonardi Heather Moran Patrick Moran Glen Anderson Cathy Fenton
