Fran Decker was — as the photo in last week’s Photo Challenge noted — a “defender and champion.”
But of what?
Sherwood Mill Pond. A plaque overlooking the water honors her work. (Click here to see.)
Mill Pond lovers John Richers, Andrew Colabella, Matt Murray, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Jonathan McClure, Rick Benson, Suesue Wilkinson, Mary Ann Batsell and Judy Katz all knew exactly where Fran’s memorial is located.
It’s a fitting honor. And a fitting spot for anyone to enjoy nature and beauty, any time — thanks, in part, to Fran’s decades of devotion.

Beachside Commons corner.
I pass by it on my walking, so I know where it is: off of Greens Farm Rd with a view of the trains. I’m sure others will identify the specific street!
This is on Beachside Ave., heading down the hill to Burying Hill Beach, which is the next right turn.
Very good, Andrew and Jeff! You nailed it. Beachside Commons, off Beachside Avenue.
