Letter: Rich Townsend Best Candidate for ‘Future Success of New Canaan’

On Election Day, I will be casting my ballot for Richard Townsend to become a member of New Canaan’s town council. Rich and his wife Cathy were two of the first welcoming members of New Canaan when we were considering moving to town and began attending the United Methodist Church three years ago. Rich is a dedicated member of our choir and helps run the monthly outings for New Canaan’s presence at Habitat for Humanity building houses in Bridgeport. Rich is always encouraging but never pushy to gather us to join him on a given Saturday to help with Habitat. I often see him walking around town and sometimes bump into him on Elm Street; he’s always in the best of moods.
