Vee, How many years is Sesquicentennial? A bunch of towns here in Windham Co had their 250th last year and the Veteran's Memorial dedication was part of that celebration. I have known Memorial Day to be cold enough I'd be glad to have a nice warm wool outfit. Ruth At 9:26 PM -0500 3/9/04, Vee L. Housman wrote: >Dear Folks, >Not to worry.

Dear Ruth, I'm glad there is someone else who gets as confused as I. I know that the Village of Youngstown was officially incorporated as a village in 1854. Therefore now that it's 150 years later it must be our susquicentennial. Let the games begin!! :-) vee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ruth Barton" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 7:25 PM Subject: Re: [FOLKS] Update on my Veterans Project > Vee, How many years is Sesquicentennial?
