As a mom, educational psychologist and school board member, I understand the importance of improving health and education.

  Vital to preserve crane as part of granite history

  I read with great interest the article in Saturday’s (April 28) Kennebec Journal concerning the Granite Quarry crane stored in the Hallowell Public Works Garage.
