I called the town of Hopkinton to find out why the markers had disappeared and why? I also wanted to know if they had history on the distrubution of said markers. After speaking to many "official people" they gave the name of the veterans agent who also knew nothing and was not aware there had been any markers. I was kind of upset is there any way to get this type of info someplace else? The markers had been in place all of my lifetime(64 yrs.) and just one day were gone, I found it odd. Helen
