To the Editor:

The Rotary Club of Bedford would like to thank all those who helped to make the September 11 Remembrance at Springs Brook Park possible. On a day in which we were drawn together to remember and reflect, we were struck by the tangible support of our community.

Thank you to Denis Freeman and the Bedford Department of Public Works for the chairs, podium, site preparation and the beautiful job that they do to continually maintain our beautiful park.

Without them, our task on that day would be considerably more difficult, and we
appreciate their help immensely.

We thank St. Malachy’s choir for their beautiful music; having a full church choir
added immeasurably to the morning. We thank Rev. Betsy Waters of the First Church of Christ for the wisdom of her remarks and for giving her time to us so generously.


We thank the Bob Latina and the Boy Scouts for posting the colors.

Thank you to Bedford Minuteman reporter Susan Ellis and photographer.

Our gratitude to Nat Brown and New England Nurseries for the gift of the Purity Japanese Andromeda to the families, to Bob Mead for his conception and delivery of this yearly, deeply moving ceremony, to attendees from the Bedford Fire Department, and to Selectman Walter St. Onge.

Finally, we thank the 100 or so participants who came together to share in a meaningful remembrance on a beautiful September morning,

Sincerely,

Cliff Rober
