    TOWN OF WEBSTER NEW HAMPSHIRE October 2011 Snowstorm Photo Courtesy of Mason Donovan 2011 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2012 Warrant and Budget THE 2011 WEBSTER TOWN REPORT IS DEDICATED TO DAVID M. BATCHELDER Dave grew up in Concord. He and Carol married in 1963 and moved to Webster in 1964 where they raised four children. Over the past 45 years, Dave has served on numerous Town boards and volunteered for other Town committees. He served a total of 16 years as a Selectman and was a charter member of the Planning Board and served that board for eight years. Dave was also one of the authors of the Town’s first Zoning Ordinance. He was also involved in the writing of the original Master Plan and the first Master Plan update. In the community Dave also served as Director of the Blackwater River Watershed Association and as Cub Master of Pack #490. Dave served as Selectman more years than most anyone in memory. The majority of those years were when the Town had no more than a one-room office and vault room under the library in the old school house across from today’s Town Hall. In that building the only modern convenience was the beloved “hibachi.” Throughout the rustic accommodations of that time and the more comfortable Town Hall we enjoy today, Dave’s perpetual smile, get-the- job-done-energy, and quick wit helped move Town government along. By the way, this man also knows how to cook, as anyone who was ever been privi- leged to sample his gourmet seafood chowder can attest.
