(Town Common) are:
Some of you town *classics* are folks whom I have not had the pleasure of meeting up close and personal as of yet. However, thanks to this ChatRoom, I am offered the chance to catch a rare glimpse of personalities, characters, recollections, and history I might not otherwise be afforded. Many thanks for this and prayers for the Lumpkin family.

Although the team lost it gave me a thrill to watch John Sheppard at bat last night on the Summer Little League game. Just as thrilling was seeing his Mom and some fans with special made white tee shirts with "Chatham" on them. Great small town action!

It was good that Dick had a chance to tell the story of his WWII contributions. For many years, I am under the impression that he was not allowed to do so due to security concerns. Too bad he will not see the final product of all his efforts at the Marconi site at Ryders Cove.
Chatham certainly has lost a fine gentleman.

I am saddened by the news of Dick Lumpkin. The face of Chatham is changing so rapidly. Strength to Glad and Donna!!!!!!!!
