The Decade in PhotosVOLUME LXINO.4WEDNESDAY,JAN. 26, 2011THE DECADE IN PHOTOS PAGE 2There wouldnt be a decade in photos without all of the talented photographers who contributed to the Clipper, including our readers. It's impossible to thank everyone, but here's a shout out to our dedicated staff and contributors:Deni JohnsonKaren WongMike HalloranJustin GraeberMorag MacLachan Keith MartinMaribeth ConwayAdam SwiftFran NicholsJim TarboxWe decided to do something a little dif-ferent for this year's photo supplement. Rather than look back on just one year, this issue examines a decade in Duxbury's photo-graphic history. From things that have changed, like where we hold Town Meeting and who leads town government and the school department, to things that never change, like kids sledding at North Hill on a snow day, it's all been captured on camera by Clipper staff and our dedicated readers. We hope you enjoy this visual tour of the last 10 years.SPECIAL THANKS2000-2010:Atourthrough Duxbury's decade in photosTHE DECADE IN PHOTOS PAGE 3The Fourth of July parade in Duxbury is the highlight of thesummer,and goesbackover100years.
