Norfolk Quill Turns 5
Daniel Gets His Way By PatriCk CoLeman
By PatriCk CoLeman
For a decade, William "Bill" Daniel kept a watchful eye on the entrance to King Philip Regional High School. With his untimely passing on May 28th, a void was left. His familiar presence is missed both by his family and friends and it's also missed by a community which always counted on him. From the worst weather New England has to offer to bright sunny days, he stood on Franklin St. ensuring safe passage during the school year. Now his service will be remembered for generations, as the access way between Shears St. and Franklin St. now bears his name. The William L. Daniel Jr. Way was dedicated on Saturday, June 15th, before members of his family, his colleagues on the Wrentham Police and Fire Departments, and numerous friends and local politicians.
Last month the wraps were taken off the Fifth Edition of Norfolk Quill, an annual literary journal featuring the work of more than 30 local writers and photographers. The creator and editor of Norfolk Quill, Margo Ball, held a reception at Norfolk Public Library to unveil the this year's journal and to celebrate. To mark the special anniversary, the cover is in color for the first time. “Five years is a landmark that’s important to me,” Ball says. She started the Norfolk Quill, and launched workshops, out of her passion for writing and a desire to help writers. “I felt there was a need for people to have some place where they can go and learn about writing and they can support each other in trying to write and also to see their work in print,” she explains. Right from the start, Ball also wanted the Norfolk Quill to be open to children. Approximately half the journal is comprised of children’s work. “We’ve had work from first-graders up through senior citizens in every single edition, which is very gratifying to me,” Ball says. The submission process is competitive. Ball reviews all the material and tries to build a journal that is diverse and represents the highest quality in local writing. “I do get more submissions than we can accept,” she explains. “It’s important for the kids that their work has been selected.”
Many of the speakers spoke of Daniel's endless giving to the community. He served as an EMS dispatcher, special police officer, call fireman, civil defense director, emergency management, and KP crossing
