The 1980 Annual Report is dedicated to Edtth Lovell and T. Drew Bates, ,both of whom retired after many years of service to the Town. Edith Lovell served as the Secretary to many Boards of Seleetman going back to the ·time when the Selectmen were also the Board of Assessors and the Board of Public WeUaTe. Her knowledge and ex­ perience helped to ease the transition periods of new members coming onto the Board, and her familiarity with the S•ta;te and Town By­ Laws made it possible for the Selectmen's office ,to be run efficiently, even though the Board was present only once a week for their meeting. Edie will ,be missed by all in the Town Hall.
