Moe : Yes , He was a local guy from Linwood, but he had family that lived in the city ,there for his children were around here all of the summers.

The oldest son worked for the city, he was was in the body shop.
The mayor also had the same ties to ducktown and the chelsea section of the city.
I can not remember if he grew up in the city or if he just had aunts and uncles here.
