    I should have mentioned this yesterday, but in Baltimore on April 19th,
    1861 fell the first casualties, from hostile fire, of the Civil War.
    
    And at 5:30 that evening the Davis Guards of Acton, Massachusetts
    arrived in Washington to defend the Capitol, the first company of fully
    armed and equipped militia in the entire Union to answer Lincoln's call
    for volunteers.
    
    To commemorate the Davis Guards, Co. "E", of the 6th Mass. Volunteer
    Militia, there will be an encampment this weekend in Acton including
    members of several groups who recreate the Civil War as living history.

Well gee,

I can't answer for everyone, but I only own property in Maynard, not people
or busineses. Probably the best approach is to ask this person, and then 
ask the stores where you'd like this person's work to appear.

Hope this helps get you started.

re: .8

>    my question has been answered; makes sense, from the way the response
>    was in .7; i now understand the attitude.
    
That's good.  What was the question?  What attitude?

The way the two previous replies were worded I thought I was reading about
some clandestine activity or something.  What's with all the "vagueness"?

CW

Wait a sec... I just replied to .8 in my ".8" reply previous to this one.

Nonetheless, my previous questions still stand.

Don't ya just love a good home-spun mystery?

    Could someone shed some info on the Car Show that's coming up next
    month?  There's a banner across Main STreet.  My son's a car freak, and
    this might be something he'd really enjoy.
    
    Thanks
    
    Sandy

The car show is sponsored by the Maynard Area Auto Club (MAAC).  It features 
classics, muscle, custom built rods, and a host of others.  There will be a DJ 
playing oldies but goodies as well as numerous other events.  If your son 
enjoys cars, he will really enjoy this show.  We expect 500 plus cars to 
attend this year.

    This coming Thursday evening, Dec. 3, the tree on the green near the
    Veterans Monument, will be lighted at 6:30 p.m.  There will be school
    children caroling, also.
    

    This coming Sunday, Dec. 6, the Mayanrd Christmas Parade will kick off
    at 2 p.m.  It usually starts at the Mill parking lot where Santa
    arrives by helicopter, and then proceeds down Main St.
    

I'm looking for information regarding this year's Memorial Day Parade in Maynard.

I marched in so many of them years ago, but I'm sure the route has changed since
then.

Could some one tell me where the parade route goes these days? I'm specially
interested in where they enter the cemetaries and what pattern they follow,
once inside. Also, where are the various stops for the dedication 
ceramonies along the route?

I have a 3 1/2 year old son and his dad is burried in St Bridgett's cemetary.
I'd like to be at the burial site when the parade comes through. This is like the
first Memorial Day with out his Dad, who died 25-May last year and is a veteran.
I'd like Daniel to learn the importance of Memorial Day and to let him know
that it is a day to recognize special people, like his Dad.

Thanks in advance for any details.

    The Parade forms at Maynard High School and steps off at 10:AM.  It
    proceeds to St. Bridgets Cemetary, it enters at the Main Gate, proceeds
    to Stone Altar in the middle of the cemetary.  There a short invocation
    will take place and the firing squad fires a volley.  It the reforms and 
    proceeds back out the main gate to Parker ST where it enters Glennwood 
    Cemetary and an Innvocation and firing of a Volley again.  
    
    Reforms and exits the main gate back onto Parker St, where it proceeds
    to the Lights and turns left. At the bridge, a short invocation is
    presented to those lost at sea.  It then process to memorial park where
    the main speech and firing of a volly is done.
    
    Then proceeds up to the Legion home on Summer St where it is dismissed
    and food is served to the marchers.
    
    You might also want to attend the Catholic mass which is held at St.
    Bridgets Cemetary at 9:00 AM that day.  This takes palce at the Stone
    Altar.
    
    See you there, I will be the guy with the Public Address system.
