MERRIMACK HAS ALWAYS been a civically engaged town where citizens across the political and ideological spectrums get involved.
We can recall 13 years ago, when local legislators happily passed on that their âMr. Merrimackâ was bringing his talents to the State House.
By then,
Dick Hinch already was a fixture in local politics, having chaired the Board of Selectmen and served on the townâs budget, zoning and library boards, as well as taking leadership roles in the local Lions, Rotary and Chamber of Commerce groups.
Hinch, 71 at the time of his death last week, was not a headline-seeker. He preferred to stay in the background and pull the levers of government power to get results.
