Sussman thanked several people, including Village Manager Dane Bragg, and laced her farewell speech with humor, saying she enjoyed visiting with children, whose questions included who was her favorite trustee and whether she lived in a mansion.Also sworn in Monday were incumbent Trustees Gregory Pike and David Weidenfeld and newcomer Frank Cesario. Trustee Andrew Stein was designated the village's president pro tem.
