This morning, back from Florida and feeling rested, Mayor Art Ward was inducted into the Bristol Eastern High School Hall of Fame.
"I'm very humbled," the mayor said.
Joking that the move was unrelated to his academic record, Ward said he is the second Eastern alumni to be chosen for the honor.
Last year, Mike Reiss, a writer for "The Simpsons," was the first to be picked for the school's hall of fame.
There's probably a good "Simpsons" episode in this, but I'll let it go.

Art, stop stealing Nicastro's line!
ReplyDeleteWards head will be getting larger.
ReplyDeleteWhy should Art use Nicastro's line: they are made from the same mold.
ReplyDeleteThats because he exceeded all expectations: he graduated.
ReplyDeleteHow obvious, they're sucking up to the "Arty let's party" before the tough budget meetings. Who wants to bet that Bristol Eastern is spared the deep cuts?
ReplyDeleteIt's either this or they are desperate, kinda like scraping the bottom of the barrel for the dregs.
Fame or shame?
ReplyDeleteSTORTZ IS UP SET HE DIDNT MAKE THE HALL OF FAME.
ReplyDelete12:52 PM, Nah, it just that your's is getting smaller...
ReplyDeleteArt keep up the good job.Like in the rocky movie you could say i did IT. Proud of you fellow VIET NAM VET.
ReplyDeletePoor Art must miss those days on the short bus - at least he got a social promotion and did well. Just ask him!
ReplyDelete"Fame or shame?"
ReplyDeleteGuess that depends on whether or not you get inducted. From the juvenile comments here, I guess it's a shame for those wannabes who don't...
5:55pm - Nice mayor! welcome back to Bristol.
ReplyDelete7:15 - you serve as the poster person for "a child who should have been left behind" - at birth.
ReplyDelete7:15 PM...sounds like you've been riding the short bus for a long, long time.
ReplyDelete1:08 p.m., Once again NOPE, I'm not the mayor, but thanks!
ReplyDelete"Guess that depends on whether or not you get inducted. From the juvenile comments here, I guess it's a shame for those wannabes who don't..."
ReplyDeleteFamous will change to infamous when you get your next tax bill.
