Granby Drummer (https://granbydrummer.com/page/527/?trk=public_profile_project-button)
Our mother Sally had a hell of a run having lived and experienced a vast swath of life for over 101 years. She got to hold and love on her great grandchildren.
Ruth Curtis was a Granby resident most of her adult life. She loved our town, its natural beauty, its community and all it embodied.
In 1881, Dr. George Edwards and his wife, Anna Eliza Holcomb purchased the house at 250 Salmon Street to raise their two sons, Gaston and Stanley.
What a month it’s been. What a time we are living in. While the Drummer is showcasing its 50 years of history, we are creating new history every day.
Life has been very different—if not surreal—for all of us through this initial pass of the pandemic. It locked us down in our homes to varying degrees, is impacting our family incomes just as erratically with some making more not working than when they were working, while others have seen their income reduced or totally dried up.
The June 3 “protest” in Granby center began as one resident’s heartfelt desire to manifest support for the black community. The original idea, a humble gathering of friends and like-minded community members, quickly burgeoned into an impassioned assemblage of over 400 people.
On A Motion by Sally King, seconded by Mark Neumann, the board voted (5-0-0) to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of May 4 with the correction by Neumann of section VIII, to read: Selectman Neumann, Republican Town Committee member not chairman, as stated in the minutes.
We are at a crucial revolutionary moment in history following the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, among countless others. It is a rare and pivotal moment that presents an opportunity for sweeping and indelible transformation across our town and the nation to finally and boldly acknowledge that Black Lives Matter.
As great as Granby is, together, we can make it better. Together, we can help to end racism and injustice.
