It was my intention to ask both candidates the same questions as early as possible to allow me as much time available to research and confirm their views. I hope my readers understand I made this effort in good faith. After multiple attempts by email and phone messages, the Pound Ridge Democratic Committee declined my invitation to interview Ali Boak. Being I’m the new kid in town, can you tell me a little about yourself? Dick Lyman…
