GOOD JOB: I am very proud of Selectmen Phil Eliopoulos, Clare Jeannotte and Pat Wojtas. They made the right decision last week by pushing for more information on the ambulance proposal. They should be commended.

Chelmsford

NONE OF OUR BUSINESS: Chelmsford has a very valuable asset in their firefighters. The Sun ought to keep out of our arguments and let the townspeople speak for themselves.

Chelmsford

WHY LAPTOPS?: About the laptops that were stolen from Tewksbury High School: Why are they buying laptops for a high school? They are more expensive than traditional computers. What do they need them for? If they're using them at school, why do they have to be portable?

Tewksbury

HARSH REALITY: Every bit of newspaper coverage to honor and remember Paul Sullivan has been wonderful. Paul's column left blank the other day was really stunning. It really brought the reality home.

Lowell

THANK YOU, PAUL: I was saddened to hear about Paul Sullivan. He was a great guy. Thank you to him for supporting the Lowell School custodians years ago. We're still here thanks to him.
Lowell

A KIND HEART: Paul Sullivan lived in our neighborhood during our adolescent years. He was a friend to our son who had a learning disability. Many young folks couldn't be bothered with him, but Paul did. Our son passed away suddenly in 1979, and we still remember what kind of person Paul was. Thank you, Paul.

No town given

MORE TO COME?: The Patriots have been caught. I'm willing to bet there are many other teams doing the same thing. Let's hope they also get caught.

Westford

INTERESTING IDEA: Now that the Patriots have admitted they are guilty, they are being fined and are losing draft picks. On an up note, I suppose we could save some face by changing our name and logo, and then we can join the other two cats that are in the franchise with the NFL -- the Jaguars, Panthers, and now, the "Cheetahs."

Lowell

JUST CURIOUS: The Patriots were not cheating, they were just trying to figure out what the Jets were doing wrong on defense that would cause such a blowout in the first quarter.

Lowell

COMPETITION WANTED: Verizon, when are you coming to Pepperell with your cable so we won't be held hostage any longer by Charter Communications?

Pepperell
