You are the face of Weston. Share what you love most about Weston and
your role with the city.
Weston is my second hometown. Having been raised in a small town, albeit
larger than Weston, I’m very comfortable here. The people are fantastic
and I have gotten to know and have become friends with several of the
residents. I love the interaction with the locals and enjoy hearing the leg-
ends of Weston and learning about the town’s history. I grew up listening
to my parents, who have both since passed, talk about their childhood in
my hometown and it sounded a lot like Weston.

Battlefields, and Harper’s Ferry. I served in the Army with the 101st Military
Intelligence Battalion at Fort Riley, Kansas. In 1987,1 was stationed in Berlin,
Germany during the Cold War. I was in Berlin both when the wall fell on
November 9,1989 and when Germany reunified on October 3,1990. It was
quite an exciting time! Our military housing area basically backed up to the
Berlin Wall and sometimes we were awakened by the sound of sirens and
what sounded like gun shots from the East German guards. My first time
walking across Glienicke Bridge, also known as the ridge of Spies where
the exchange of captured spies took place several times during the Cold
War, was unreal. My time n Berlin was truly a once-in-a-lifetime event.
