Happy Memorial Day!

Everyone loves a parade.  This crew gathered in front of the Carpenters' house on Myrtle Avenue.

Mr. See, who was also grand marshal in 1946 -- just after World War II -- gave a powerful speech, ranging from the status of Westport veterans after World War II to the draft and torture.

    Dan: Great coverage of Memorial Day, we didn’t see you but knew you were out there somewhere. It just is not the same watching the parade without the Woog man remembering the old days of watching from the roof of the Sport Mart or Tips. Good job Dan
