NORWAY – True to his word, former two-term Selectman Robert J. “Bobby” Walker will campaign again this year for a seat on the board.
Walker is one of four candidates seeking to fill two openings in the June 10 election.
“I told you I would,” said Walker, who was defeated for re-election last year but immediately vowed he would be back in the political scene as soon as possible.
Walker, 62, who spent much of this past year at Norway Rehabilitation and Living Center recuperating from a series of strokes, now lives in an apartment on Beal Street and said he is eager to get back on the political scene. He said he never wavered in his decision to seek re-election.
“Not a bit,” he said Wednesday of the decision he said he made the day he lost the election in 2007.
The open seats are those of Selectman Bill Damon, who is seeking re-election, and Les Flanders, who is not running because of family commitments. Each post is for three years.
Also running for the board are Warren Sessions Jr., manager of the Oxford County Recycling, and Wesley Wentworth, a library trustee.
Longtime SAD 17 director Donald Gouin is running unopposed for another three-year term.
Karen Hatch will seek a three-year seat on the Norway Memorial Library Board of Trustees being vacated by Marilyn Eaton.
