Everyone had a garden in our neighborhood. From my earliest memory I recall the massive plantings of our next door neighbor Herman Marx, who had come to the U.S. after the second World War, traveling from job to job on a motorcycle with a sidecar.

Amy Stockford never stopped serving Alna after she left as town clerk in 2016. The co-owner of Old Narrow Gauge Farm with Toby Stockford, and mother of Etta, pushing 4, has been town treasurer more than five years. And now, after the town’s latest clerk, Sheila McCarty, resigned, Stockford has agreed to be interim clerk.
Selectmen named Stockford to the job at a board meeting Monday afternoon, First Selectman Melissa Spinney said. Spinney explained via text, Stockford will still be treasurer. “The (deputy clerks Linda Verney and Lynette Eastman) will handle most of the day to day duties as they’ve been doing. Amy really only needs to do a few hours a week of clerk stuff, like getting ready for election.”
