As I head for the exit, one last shout out the Melrose DPW for another incredible 24 hour effort to get Melrose ready for Monday.

I can’t say enough about the dedication of our public employees. Not what their role or job title, they are all dedicated to serving our residents.

And to my family, friends, and all the people of Melrose, thank you for the opportunity to serve this great community.
