Meet the Neighbors

 

 

 Chris Burke, a native son, has returned to Petersham after a long absence and is working as Swift River Renovations to restore Rhea Johnson's antique saltbox at the  end of Main Street and The four-pillar Paul house on the Common.

 

 

 

... and Thanks

 

Every so often, you and I run into someone who deserves a thank you. That's what this page is for. Send Us an E-mail when you find one and we'll put them right here.

... and Thanks to Beth Cummings for the idea, several years ago, that she and her neighbors could just get together for a walk around the Old Main's mile on West Street. She did and they have done that annually on the Fourth of July ever since.

Her walk turned into a bona fide parade with local floats, music and the whole nine yards. It was the only 4th of July Parade in the North Quabbin region. Damn fine time, we'd say. Thanks Beth


Dick Nickless, West Road, Town moderator for 48 annual town meetings. Possibly, that is some sort of a record

Rick Marsh,  West Street,- Runs the Easter Egg Hunt every year and now serves as a Selectman.
