Quote of the Day
“I had the honor and pleasure of working with Gail over the past 18 years both on the North Adams City Council and most recently in her role as our representative. Gail certainly loved politics but her desire to serve people far outweighed any political ambitions. Gail was a true public servant in every sense. Everyone knew Gail….and she knew everyone. Her work and her passion were to simply help people as evidenced by her many, many years in public life. Gail truly made a positive difference in the lives of all she came into contact with,”
Remembering Representative Gail Cariddi, who passed away Saturday morning.
