My phone number and email

For Brookville residents and people who live up on the hill, my phone number is 765-265-9219. My email is jestridge@yahoo.com. I am on Facebook if you want to send me a message.

During days when the temperature is warm, my porch is available for conversation. Please don’t hesitate to contact me about anything to do with the town or if you just want to talk.

Right now the sewage project up the hill is the main topic, and I would love to hear what you think about it.

This is your money we are talking about. You should have a say.

One word of warning is if I do not know the number calling me, I do not answer because of the prevalence of phone solicitations. However, just leave a short message, and I will call you back at my first opportunity.

Thank you,

John Estridge
