How long have you lived in Westport? Lived here 25 years this month
Favorite restaurant and what you choose from the menu: in no particular order…cheeseburger (extra bacon), beacon oysters, cornbread and the DR is only one of three places in the world where I’ll buy “store bought” ribs.

Why Westport? Westport is a town with a ‘learning culture’ (culture defined as “what we pay our respects to”). A town with many honest critics and with so many ways to engage community…community doesn’t come to you, you have to engage it. My favorite way to engage is Wrecker football. I moved here as my “job” back then was here in Westport and I work & recreate every day. My commute is 1.15 miles (it used to be 2 miles when I first moved here).
