Last Thursday evening at Sally O’Brien’s Pub in Union Square there was a “City of Somerville Reunion of the Early 2000’s.”

Former Somerville Mayor Dorothy Kelly Gay’s was there along with most of her former administration and just about anyone who worked in City Hall as well as on her campaigns during those years when she was in office.

It was like taking a walk back into 2001 through a time machine to City Hall again. There were many old friends who haven’t seen one another in years who also played a big part in Dorothy’s administration and past campaigns.

Mayor Gay was elected into office during a special election back in May 1999 and then reelected in November of 1999 for a two-year term.
