Dr. Ward came to UMF and spoke to the Aspiring Educators group about the budget process and gave us all wisdom and guidance about how to approach our future careers. He is a true inspiration and role model to me and the many students in our club. Dr. Tom has the utmost integrity and all who know him, know that. When people are angry they look for people to blame. Dr. Ward has shown continued support and love for his hometown community, education, and success of students. We stand in solidarity with Dr. Tom Ward and RSU 9.

Tom Ward is in fact a Great and Very Capable Man.
This picture with this “endorsement”,,
Surprise!!!
To this “Group”,, never underestimate the “validity” of peoples anger (your word not mine).
If all you can do is insinuate that anyone who disagrees with you is angry, good luck in the future to you.
Lastly to Tom Ward,
Thanks for hanging in there.
You have Gator Hide for sure.
Teach em Doc.
In fact there were many who were angry. Check out the “Ward Must Go” signs. Or how about the vicious and disgusting comments that were placed both on Facebook and this website. My statements are perfectly valid, so I think I have plenty of luck, thanks. As for discrediting the “anger” others feel, that is not something I would do. People felt divided over this issue and for various reasons. If you were in opposition, you have every right to feel that way even though we disagree. Have a wonderful evening.
To invalid opposition,
Mr Ward showed his quality thru the whole process of working things out. This is his job. He performed admirably and I commend him for keeping his focus on the issues while also considering the opposition’s points.
He (unlike many if his supporters),,, had the whole community at heart.
I think it’s our Civic duty to question every dollar spent.
It’s not ok to make ignorant signs.
But don’t even act like all the ignorance was on one side…..
We’re lucky to have you Tom.
Teach em that “community solidarity” is a higher value than some worn out union war cry.
Some will pay dues and expect the world, .others will learn from Tom Ward and make a tremendous difference in this world.
Teach em Doc..
Thank You.
