Letter: Opportunity for Ridgefield

By Bill Baumann, Ridgefield

Published: January 24, 2020, 6:00am

I grew up in a small but growing town in Wisconsin more than 50 years ago. The adults there believed in education and were willing to pay for it.

As a result, I attended a new elementary school as well as a new middle school. I’m grateful to those folks for supporting the bonds that built those new schools. I believe my education was greatly enhanced as a result.

I now have a chance to provide the same opportunity for young people in Ridgefield. I am happy to be able to pay it forward. Please support the Ridgefield school bond.
