cataloging historical artifacts in spreadsheet form. Still a questions on how to get textual
and photographic material scanned etc. Decision was to bring this to the council
attention at one of their up coming monthly meetings. Waiting for the return of both Bill
Downey and Les Earnest so the entire committee can go to the council meeting with our
concerns.
Museum Site: We continued our discussion on a site for our museum, and came to the
conclusion this topic will also be brought up to the Council on the same evening.
Historical Sites and Structures Subcommittee: The question was discussed of what to
do about this project in view of Barbara Packard’s illness. The consensus was for Mary
Ann Malcolm to call her. In addition Mayor Jean Mordo wants us to move ahead so he
has added an additional 4 positions to the History Committee. (total of 9 positions)

criteria and lengths of biographies for prominent Town residents. Everyone on
