quote
“I love Bedford for many reasons. One of the reasons is the many friends I have made in Bedford. Some of those friends I met when Spencer started school. We served on committees together and have vacationed together. My oldest friends are from a newcomer’s club that I joined in 1983. I love the change of seasons here: the snow on the trees in winter, the vibrant color of the leaves in the fall, and the green peeking through in the springtime. I love walking into the local stores and people know you by name, and going to the town pool when the kids were little, just hanging out on those hot summer days. I think Bedford was a great place for my children to grow up.”
