Speaking of the election, Moynihan appears to be heeding the advisory opinion that the town’s Ethics Board issued in May following a months-long investigation that stemmed from the 2021 municipal election. The appointed body found that “an appearance of impropriety” had been caused when Moynihan used his elected title and official-looking letterhead in an endorsement letter that the volunteer Republican Town Committee then sent to new voters in the days prior to the municipal election last year. In its May 12 Report and Determination, the Ethics Board found that in the future, such a communication “will presumptively be considered a use of a Town asset and/or a Town position,” rising to the level of a Code of Ethics violation. Moynihan and the RTC sent no such letter in the run-up to this year’s midterm election.

NCHS Class of ’62 at its 60th reunion. Contributed

Finally, we received the following submission recently regarding a special reunion in town: “The NCHS Class of 1962 held its 60th Class Reunion on Sept. 24 at the Country Club of New Canaan. On June 18, 1962, 177 students graduated from NCHS. Twenty-six members of the class, along with guests, returned once again to the location of our senior post prom party, as well as several earlier reunions. Of the 26, 11 attended New Canaan schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade. On Friday night several of the class attended the Rams football game, a victory under the lights at Dunning Field. And on Sunday morning most gathered again for brunch on Elm Street in town before saying our goodbyes—until next time. And ‘next time’ is in the works, September 2024 for the 62nd Reunion of the Class of 1962! The weekend was a total enjoyment, and the unity of the class was summed up as a classmate commented afterwards, ’It’s good to know that some things still felt warm and fuzzy after all of this time.’ ”
