This service is hosted by Groveland Post 248, the American Legion.

The Four Chaplains, one Catholic, one Jewish and two Protestants will be memorialized by four corresponding clergy. The Rev. Lance Dallaire will portray Methodist Chaplain Lt. George L. Fox; The Rev. Richard Driscoll will portray Catholic Chaplain Lt. John P. Washington; The Rev. David Forsythe will portray Dutch Reformed Chaplain Lt. Clark V. Poling and Rabbi Mark Golub will portray Jewish Chaplain Lt. Alexander D. Goode. Each Clergyman will give a brief biography of the Chaplain he represents. Boy Scouts from Groveland Troop 87 will also participate. There will be memories, stories and prayers shared by veterans about actual events that historic night. A collation will follow the service. - TV listings

Editorial: Three cheers for three stories in today's Gazette
There's some news to celebrate in today's Gazette.
Continued ...
Let's start with the story of Haverhill native Una Jackson, a living demonstration of the idea that the best way to meet old age is to remain active and engaged. Jackson, now 74 and living in Hilton Head, S.C., is a medal-winning fencer who is top-ranked in the U.S. saber division for women 70 and older. The fact that there's a whole division for septuagenarian fencers shows Jackson is far from unique. - Poor Tom's Almanac: Hostesses greet their guests with a mouthful
