Funeral Details: Thank you to all of you who stepped to support the details for recent funerals of two of our past members. On Friday we rendered honors for Dave Bastille. Dave was our first ever full-time employee. Back in 1977 and 1978, Dave was our only on-duty firefighter.
Tomorrow, we will render honors for Everett Mooers. Everett was a long time resident of Lyman. He passed away 2 days before his 98th birthday. He served on the GMFD through the 40's, 50's and 60's. He held the rank of Captain. Everett also served as a Selectman and on many other Town boards and committees. Detail meets at the station at 1030 for an 1100 show-time.
