Former chief of staff tapped for hog post
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Former White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu has anew title hog
wrangler.
Sununu and his wife, Nancy, recently were named to the honorary post
of Hampton Falls’ hog reeve, complete with a swearing-in ceremony and
a badge. The post, which dates back to the 1700s, means the couple is responsible
for rounding up any loose pigs in the New Hampshire town.
The title is usually given to an unsuspecting newcomer each year. The Sununus
recently moved from Salem to Hampton Falls to be closer to relatives.
Somebody had warned us, Sununu said. “We had some friends who had come
to town earlier.”
