Dear Poard of Selectman,
No . 5E39 P, I
This evening
a family affair keeps me from attending this me
-Aing. Please accept my
apology
for not appearing in person. I sincerely submit my nE
me for: reappointment to the
Cemetery
Board of Trustees. During the past six years I have
been hianored to serve
among
such dedicated volunteers and Bob Keating, a gr admunstrator.
I believe
our cemetories,to be a reflection of the pride the To
of Reading holds for the
people.
All four cemeteries though unique, in terms of ghat they
offer are always
be,auti
places to visit. The town's commitment to our v
ps on Memorial Day with
the pl�
cing of a flower on each grave, has always been dear to
me. My son, Ted through
Coolidge
Middle School Council raised :funds for this tradition
to continue,
I ask once again, for your consideration, to be placed oA the demetery Board of Txustecs

Dear Peter:
The Board of Selectmen has asked me to appear this evening before the Board for the purposes
of being reappointed to the Board of Cemetery Trustees. Unfortunately, a scheduling conflict
precludes me from attending in person; however, I did want to express in writing why I seek
reappoint to the Cemetery Board.
In the 33 years my wife and I have lived in Reading, I have tried to participate in town
government in some way, as a Town Meeting Member, member of the IDC (now the CPDC),
helping out with various volunteer efforts that benefit the town, and most recently, my
appointment six years ago to the Cemetery Board. I have enjoyed not justthe camaraderie of my
fellow Board members, but also learning about, and being part of, an element of town
government about which I knew little. I have come to know that it is an important part of the
operation and history of the town. I feel my contributions to the various deliberations of the
Board over the past few years have helped the Board make better financial and operational
decisions. I would like to continue to serve on the Board. (Besides, I finally feel I understand
the budget/accounting process of the Cemetery Department!)
I thank you for your consideration and support.
Sincerel
