My neighbor John Schippa will be keeping the peace in Stratham. He is their new Chief of Police.

Linda and I attended the  Amare Cantare concert at  Christ Church this past Sunday afternoon. They really put you in the Christmas mood and the  acoustics of the space are quite good.

It was  lousy outside at the conclusion so I suggested we cut through the Church Hall to reach the parking lot. On the way through  we saw the Boy Scouts and got a big wave from John. I was not aware that he was a Boy Scout Leader . I do buy  scout popcorn every year from his kids. It is my hope that  every Stratham Officer will be supplied with my plate number as a “good joe”.

I cannot imagine a more telling  element on a  resume  than  participation  in Scouting.

Congratulations John

Mike
