Connections

Retired Unionville schoolteacher Don Silknitter and his wife, Joan, have started a West Marlborough Township group on Facebook as a way to share news with township residents. It has already become a big hit, full of information about election results and township meetings, as well as historical tidbits and photos.
Don't look for any political commentary, though: Don's strictly enforced rule for the group is NO POLITICS!
Don shared a wonderful postcard view of Doe Run circa 1907, showing Edwin Buffington and Thad Herr crossing Route 82, then a dirt road.
The group is up to nearly 100 members, and at the Nov. 5 township meeting, planning commission member Josh Taylor thanked Don for providing a very useful public service.
I don't want to neglect our worthy neighbor East Marlborough Township: in recent weeks they also started a public Facebook page that you can "like"!
(Sorry, but yes, you DO have to join Facebook to access both of these sites. Some people refuse to do so, and I can't say I completely disagree with them.)
