LOCAL ANGLE: Viewers of CNN in the pre-election coverage in New
Hampshire may have caught a local angle in recent days.
Terry Montecalvo Dynborski hosted a community meeting at her
house in Londonderry, N.H., for candidate John McCain, who is
seeing the Republican nomination for president. If the name seems
familiar – the Montecalvo part, in particular – you’re right on the
money. Terry is “a Lewis Run girl,” according to relative Al
Montecalvo. Al tells us that Terry’s brother, Vince Montecalvo, is
a Bradford resident.
TEA TIME: The folks on the One Book Bradford committee are busy
