Letter: Displaced family thanks community for assistance

Anonymous The Salem News The Salem News Sat Mar 09, 2013, 04:30 AM EST

To the editor:

On Jan. 10, 2013, our family lost our home to a fire. We were very fortunate that we were not home at the time. From the moment we arrived at the fire, we began to realize, firsthand, the generosity of our close-knit community. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Wenham Fire Department; Wenham Police Department; the Hamilton fire and police departments; the Beverly Police Department; Ayers Ryal Side parents and teachers; the Harborlight Nursery School families, teachers and Board of Directors; and our close friends and families. We cannot begin to thank you for your support and generosity.

Darin, Trina, Tyler and Jackson Chin-Aleong

A surprising candidate for Salem School Committee

In one sense, it seems like the manager of the Yankees offering to help the Red Sox run their team. There has always been a sense of competition between the Salem Public Schools and the Salem Academy Charter School. So, the news that Rachel Hunt, hea
