In 1995 we recognized Sheldon Morgan for attaining Master Road Scholar with 100 hours of training. It is a great pleasure to recognize Sheldon for his continuing efforts for education and self-improvement. This past spring he completed 200 hours of training.

Sheldon, Director of Public Works in Gilford, is the first person to reach this milestone. Sheldon is committed to training. He says, the "important things are to keep active and act responsibly as a public official." To do this, "one must stay on top of each new technology and stay versed in the technical end." Even though he has gone through the training process, he "still needs a refresher because people tend to forget things they don’t do all of the time." He "retakes classes to stay current."

Sheldon has been with the Town of Gilford for 28 years and the Director of Public Works for 11. Like most towns, it has its share of problems. It suffered in the ice storms of last year, although Sheldon was quick to point out that it didn’t suffer as badly as other towns. In addition, the Gilford Public Works Department hasn’t been fully staffed in 5-6 years. Even with the staffing shortages, Sheldon attends classes whenever he can.
