[email protected]. Annual Town Report Prepared for the Citizens of 2010-2011 ~This Annual Town Report is Dedicated to~ Gilles E. Auger The son of French-Canadian immigrants, Gil has served the Town of Sanford for more than 50 years. First elected a town meeting member in 1963 while teaching French at Sanford High School, Gil helped SHS become the first accredited school in Maine. He then became Professor of French at Nasson College and was also elected a Trustee of the Sanford Sewage District. There he oversaw the upgrading of Sanford’s waste-water treatment plant to become the most state-of-the-art in the country. In 1974, Gil was appointed to Sanford's Board of Registration and was made chair in 1978. He became Registrar of Voters in 1981, a position he held until his retirement in 2007. In that time, Gil registered tens of thousands of voters and was an invaluable source of information as he could easily recall not only those he had registered, but their brothers, sisters, parents and grandparents.
