I think the DDP has a new Director of Media & Communications, I just hope that there will be all these announcements and website updates as it was in previous months when Matthew was the acting director of media and communications

Fifteen years after the skull fragment of a man was found on the shores of Lake Champlain, the DNA Doe Project has identified him as 87-year-old Arthur Weiss. In a surprising twist, Weiss was not a missing person – he had died in New York City eight months prior, before his ashes were scattered on Lake Champlain. This identification proves that the skull fragment found was the result of a memorial scattering rather than a disappearance, resolving the mystery of the man formerly known only as Burlington John Doe.
