LETTER: Support For Frank Alaimo As District 3 Enfield Councilor

I've never written an editorial before, so please bear with me. I'm writing about one of my best friends who's running as a Republican for District 3 councilor. I don't know any other way to write this except from my heart about Frank the man, husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

He's a lifelong resident of Enfield growing up in the Thompsonville section, known as Frenchtown, where his parents ran a small variety store. Frank grew up very proud of his Italian heritage and his love of Enfield and very strong hometown values.

Frank was a career firefighter climbing in the ranks to chief, you don't choose a career in the fire service to get rich, you choose that career path to help people and for love of your community. I could make list of achievements that Frank championed but like l said in the beginning, l just want to talk about Frank Alaimo the man. He's honest, a fighter, a go getter and will get the job done; you couldn't ask for a better person on your side.

Now very quickly for those of you who know Arnie Grimaldi, l wouldn't be writing this if l don't truly believe Frank is the right person for the council.
