ELEANOR AND FRANK WHITTEMORE Annual Town Report 1998

The Dedication of this Annual Report was an easy choice this year, as 1998 marked the year in which Eleanor and Frank Whittemore both retired from regular public service to the Town of Hollis. They have given so much of themselves to our town, yet have avoided any limelight or personal gratification, other than the knowledge that their efforts have been sincerely appreciated by us all.
Eleanor and Frank continue to devote full working time to the operation of Brookdale Fruit Farm. It's amazing to think about how much work goes into operating a business like Brookdale, but both Eleanor and Frank also tirelessly worked for the Town in so many capacities.
