I have been a resident of East Hometown for 30 years, and of Hometown County since I was born. I attended the local schools from East Hometown Elementary School to Central Community High School. I attended Community University in North Hometown where I met Barbara, my wife, and have stayed in the community since. After college I became involved in banking and joined the local firm of Smith and Small Public Accountants. I later opened my own firm of Hometown Accounting Services where I took on the tax duties of both Hometown and Upper Hometown. This is where I have come to know many of you over the past fifteen years. My wife, Barbara, teaches at Central Community High School and plans to retire from there someday. Barbara and I have raised our family alongside yours in our community. Our daughter's Emily and Susan have both attended school here and have gone on to marry local boys Ken Harpy and Russ Major respectively. Our son Frank, along with his wife Helen, run Van's Auto Services and has grown to know even more people in the community himself. Our other son, Michael, runs the Hometown Machine Fabrication plant. |
