Amherst council swears in new board as changes begin
The 1988 Amherst City Council convened for committee meetings with Jim Gammons taking a third term oath. New officers and appointments follow party lines loosely while roles shift, including John Higgins becoming President of Council and Cora Godfrey joining the Cable TV Advisory Commission. The Amherst Athletic Association also posts leadership changes and BPW hosts International Night at the VFW Hall. Nine Amherst Hospital Homemaker Home Health Aide graduates, including the first male recipient, were recent diploma recipients.
