When Ralph Sheffer served as Representative Town Meeting moderator — from 1959 to ’69 — the handsome building on the Myrtle Avenue hill was Bedford Elementary School.
For the past 40 years, it’s been Town Hall. Once a month, the RTM meets in its auditorium.
Sheffer — the RTM’s 5th moderator, and at the time its longest-serving leader — now has a place of honor there.
He’s remembered with an old-fashioned iron sign, on the right side of the lobby.
That was last week’s Photo Challenge. Andrew Colabella, Sal Liccione (both RTM veterans), Tom Feeley, Patty Strauss (longtime town clerk) and Lynn Untermeyer Miller knew exactly where it is. (Click here to see.)
Ann Sheffer emailed privately. She knew too. But as the daughter of the honoree, she thought it would not be fair to chime in.
This week’s Photo Challenge is open to everyone. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.”
