As we gingerly walked on ice and trudged through snow this week to retrive our newspaper from the front walk, we asked ourselves why.

We can get news online, but not the smaller local stories.  And, at least for us, there is nothing like reading and holding a paper or a book. 

Two stories that caught our eye today were about Robert Wright, 1973 graduate from Framingham High, and 1977 graduate from Framingham State who has been promoted to Navy Rear Admiral and local comedian Peter Gross who is competing in a comedy festival. 

Framingham has and is the home for many talented and worthy people who have made a difference and made a mark in the world. 

We invite submission of news about past and present Framingham residents to share with our visitors.
