The Hinsdale Board ofSelectmen
has dedicated this year's town report to
Jean Savory
In every small town there are people who quietly go above and beyond to
perform the duties charged to them. Jean is one of those people. She is
best known as the Town Clerk but Jean has done several otherjobs for the
town. Jean started out by helping her husband as deputy tax collector. Her
service to the town grew from there. She is truly civic minded and raised
her children to be the same. We would like to thank Jean for the many
years ofdedication she has given the town and hope that we will have her
for many more.
