I want to send a big coronavirus pot-banging, bell-ringing shout-out to all the people who are keeping things going in Norfolk during these scary times. Here’s to the Road Crew and the Sewer District team and the Town Hall brigade; here’s to our great first responders of the ambulance and the fire department; here’s to the folks at the Berkshire Country Store and the Wood Creek Grill; here’s to the unflagging staff at the Post Office; here’s to those who work day after day at our hospitals; here’s to the teachers and administrators at Botelle, who have quickly and effectively put in place a virtual school for our kids. And here’s to all those working behind the scenes in ways big and small to help us get through.

I am Norfolk proud!
