tribute to Thomas Burack of Dunbarton, New Hampshire, for receiving the

individual who has demonstrated involvement and commitment to community 
service as well as the ability to encourage and develop leadership in 
others.
  A graduate of the 1997 Leadership New Hampshire class, he practices 
law at the firm of Sheehan, Phinney, Bass, and Green, P.A. Over the 
past ten years, he has donated both time and experience to the 
Dartmouth Environmental Network, the New Hampshire Land and Community
