So, to say Rob has struggled to stand out in a family of big personalities is a huge understatement. In his memoir, Bob Goes to Jail, Rob relates his journey from lost little boy to inept criminal with such honesty and heart that you can’t help but root for him. More than the memoir of a man, Bob Goes to Jail is the story of the search for love, the yearning for acceptance, and the struggle to find oneself.

Learn More at Community Meeting on Aug. 15 at 6pm Sharon Selectmen Agree to Move Forward with Comcast Proposal for Partnership to Wire Homes The Board of Selectmen this week agreed to explore further a partnership proposed by Comcast to build out its network along 27 miles of road in Sharon with 234 premises that have never before had access to its high-speed cable internet services. The proposal calls for the town of Sharon to pay $1.6 million to Comcast to build the infrastructure along the roads and also to connect the homes wishing to subscribe along the new route. If approved, the project would take six months to complete. It would be the first time that every home and business in Sharon would have access to high-speed, wired internet. This would fulfill the overarching mission of the Sharon Connect Task Force, which formed in Nov. 2019 to explore all the options the town could pursue to get everyone connected. Comcast proposes to build out the parts of town it doesn't currently serve within
