Police Department last week, after 30 years of service. The gathering at Town Hall was crowded with people who know him well, a community that is grateful and truly fond of him. Randhi is a quiet guy with a ready smile, which fooled some people into not seeing the depth of his leadership skills and the importance of the calm he generated in difficult situations. I personally want to call out Randhi’s support of the Aquinnah Community Emergency Response Team (Aquinnah CERT) during its years of organizing and training. He knew that developing an infrastructure to respond to crisis had to happen before the crisis itself, and did what he could to encourage this volunteer group, continuing his presence at CERT meetings for several years. Randhi, I’ll miss seeing you directing crowds, responding to emergencies with quiet care, speaking at town meetings, laughing with the seniors at their monthly luncheons, welcoming visitors. I wish our new chief, Ryan Ruley, all the best.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

An old friend refuses to use someone's new name. Do you correct them at the reunion?

At a reunion, an old friend repeatedly uses the name a former classmate had years ago. They say shared history gives the old name affectionate meaning; the classmate has clearly introduced themselves with a different name.

When does preserving your shared past deny who someone is now?
