Max Dunn, who led project for new community clinic building, dies at 95
Max Dunn, a persistent and persuasive force for the underprivileged, died Saturday. His friend, Dave Anderson, said of him: “Max was known for his smile, his bridge playing skills, his obvious warm and open heart, his acceptance of others, his love of God and family and his ability to raise the capabilities and possibilities of others; not just his friends, but those who needed it the most.”
Farewell
Before my head and my heart could accept that the end of a decade might be a good transition time, my body made a point of telling me that the chapter as Farmers’ Market Manager was coming to an end. In June, my back refused to be comfortable in my ‘69 Ford Market Truck, and I had a big epiphany after Epiphanio Juarez offered to purchase the truck. When I handed him the keys a few weeks later, I realized it was not that difficult to let go. And so began a summer and fall of small letting gos, until finally, after the market on Oct. 12, my back just stopped working. Fortunately, the market was beginning to wind down, and we had two well-trained assistants, Carl Hubbell and Teo Tomerlin, to work at the market. Thank you Greta Mesics, David and Sally Hubbell, Leslie Kelley Byrnes, Steve and Cheryl Caletti, and Zack Schwa for your help. And thank you to Ann Carranza for cheerfully managing the Pumpkin Fest and the Arts and Crafts Fair.
