“We’re All Done Now”

From Gazette editions of April, 1984:

When Jeff Norton stands up in front of town meeting, something happens. It’s hard to explain, but anyone who has ever been to a town meeting in Edgartown knows that Jeff Norton has the ability to make a town meeting fun. He reads the long, boring language in the warrant articles like an auctioneer. He stands on the stage of the old Whaling Church, scuffing one foot like a schoolboy while he waits for a couple of voters to argue it out.

From Gazette editions of March, 1934:
