Excerpt from Annual Report of the Officers of the Town of Ashland: For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 1996 Ashland is fortunate to have residents as dedicated and committed to the Town as Punky and Lorraine Marsh are. Punky retired as the Electric Superintendent on July 31, 1996. Punky came to work for the town in 1968 and has continually strived to re - build, add to, modernize and maintain our electric department while keeping our electric rates competitive with the larger electric companies in the State. Punky not only accomplished his goals, he did so without placing the electric depart ment in debt, which is a major accomplishment by anyone's standards. Lorraine retired as a Library Trustee to the Town after twenty-five years of service. Ashland is fortunate to have a Town Library in the center of town which is a major source of pride to all of the townspeople due to the diligence of Lorraine during her tenure at the Library. Punky and Lorraine were both raised in Ashland and chose to continue to live in Ashland after they were married. We want to wish both of them a long and happy retirement.
