Bruce Martin and Clancy Houghton are spearheading the American Legion project to raise funds for and place on the common a new and comprehensive memorial listing all Walpole citizens who have served in American wars from the Revolution through 1975. As one of the first steps, they have accululated a list of over 800 names from several sources, and they need our help in checking it for accuracy--correct spelling, incorrect entries, and accidental omissions. You can review the list on the official Walpole web site at http://www.walpolenh.us/upcoming_events.htm. The web site also gives Bruce's contact information so you can call him with any questions or suggested corrections. I'll be filing a longer, more detailed story in the next week, but I thought you'd like to know about the list's availability now so you can look through it. It's pretty impressive! Congratulations to Bruce and Clancy for taking on this large and important task for the town and our veterans! CCB
