Anderson’s Answers By Julie Anderson Welcome to another edition of Anderson’s Answers. This column is taking the place of Kramer’s Korner this month because Town Manager Kramer is currently enjoying a two-week European vacation with his wife and her family. I decided to create a Kramer’s Korner quiz that pulls questions and answers from his column over the last year. August is also Brian Kramer’s birth month; therefore, I am including some questions that may help readers get to know Brian a little better. Once you have completed the quiz, please mail or email me your answers (see my contact information below). The highest scoring respondent with the earliest submission will win a free one-on-one lunch with the town manager. Responses will be scored in the order in which they are received.
