One reader nominated two for the unofficial title. Let us know who you'd vote for as the Person of the Year for 2012.
Now that 2013 has arrived, we're looking back at 2012, and, specifically, who Sharon Patch readers looked at as the "Person of the Year".

Who contributed time and effort to planning that great event, or helping out a fellow resident in tough times? Maybe it's that person's positive spirit that impacts the community. Perhaps the person you're thinking of performs one of those "thankless" jobs we just can't live without. One local resident, Paula Keefe, weighed in with her nomination on Dec. 17: I nominate William Fowler, Finance Director for the Town of Sharon. No one puts in more hours and has more …

The holidays are all about family, traditions and memories. It’s a chance to reconnect with family and friends whether through a card, email, phone call or catching up over dinner. Thanksgiving doesn’t have the cache of Christmas. There are no gifts or commercialism to distract us and because of this Thanksgiving is many people’s favorite holiday. Every family has its own traditions and memories that bring a smile. That favorite memory might be a big football game, but most likely it’s a special moment you shared with a loved one -- possibly someone who has since passed away. Patch wants to know: What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory? Let us know in the comment section. Happy Thanksgiving!
