VETERANS’ CLUB
So, we have come to the end of the year. I look back upon some
highlights and with gratitude to my fellow brother veterans. I recall
that our officers, Sal Saladini, Tony Anderson, Sandy Epstein and Chet
Trechok kept the Club functioning while I was away for three months. I
want to thank Howard Cohen and Dave Lyttle for their most informative
presentations at our January and February meetings, respectively. Let me
not forget, too, our traditional cherry pie and ice cream servings at the
February meeting. Thanks, Tony. The Memorial Day and Veterans Day
ceremonies sponsored by the Town of Franklin were significantly reduced

this year, but it did not prevent our Club’s contribution to their programs.
There may not have had the traditional parade, band or classic cars with
our members proudly seated within, but the Town made its best use of
Zoom and broadcasting them on their website. The community’s gazebos
were decorated for the Fourth of July and for Veterans Day thanks to the
help of Fred Campo. Speaking of the gazebos, the one in Veterans Park
now displays plaques representing the six branches of service. Have you
also noticed the service garden flags that are on display?

Most of us have not been travelling outside
our immediate vicinity though we may perhaps
have had plans to visit neighboring states to
enjoy wonderful fall foliage. However, we hope you have seen
the wonderful displays of changing trees right around us in the
last month or so. At least it took our minds off our limited activity
outside our community.
We had a simply wonderful Zoom presentation by Dr. Seth
Gopin on October 15. Over 70 members and friends and family
participated. Dr. Gopin was very informative and entertaining. It is
actually his second appearance for us and hope it will not be the last!
