As I read letters from Dr. Mary Elizabeth Beach, who always responded to my concerns – suggestions about our youth who require help, I am thankful to her. Her selection as school superintendent in Ware, Massachusetts is a plus to those savvy, intelligent people and a great loss to our youth, families and we who care about our youth.

I’ve prayed Dr. Burke would eventually be selected for one or all of the several vacancies in other locations and then Dr. Beach, knowing our problems, would return.
