Email: Franklin@patch.com Phone: 617-308-9912 Hometown: Belmont Birthday: Sometime in March Bio (professional highlights, marital status, hobbies, etc)
I've won five regional journalism awards. I wish I could run - I ran in college and have finished 27 marathons - but I have a broken LCL. I read histories, bios, long winded criticism and I love magazines. I enjoy 19th century romantic literature and British fiction being published today. Love movies in movie theaters. My musical interests run the gambit from a cappella to Zulu chanting but I especially like Richard Strauss, Rita Lee and Broadway showtunes. The official name of my house feline is "Boris, the Russian Circus Cat." Really. Ask the Town Clerk. What else .... Local Hot-Button Issues What do you think are the most important issues facing the community? Money, schools and what to do with the growing wild turkey menace. Where do you stand on each of these issues? I wish I had more money, I truly love the schools and eat the turkeys.
