Did any of you complaining folks volunteer? — William Anderson
I wanted to go! — David Roberts
Are you serious? — Melanie Kowalick
So, how were people supposed to know they needed volunteers? — Laura Sweigart Franze
Volunteer? These young ones don’t want to volunteer for anything! Ask your fire companies! — Danree Fjelsted Heath
What’s next? No Fourth of July fireworks? — Roberta Faircloth
It’s a sad day in Dover when the mayor cancels the St. Patrick’s Day Parade when it’s been in existence since I can remember. I wonder why the Downtown Dover Partnership didn’t sponsor it or organize it. It has a lot of money and is always trying to promote Dover. Strange! — Ruth Hamilton
