 Wow this is great. Fantastic. This is about three times as many as we had last year. Really good. Thank you for coming tonight. A couple of things are in order just to tell you how we're going to do this. We're going to read the names. We have a record number this year. I don't know if that's good or bad. It's good for us. And I'm glad that you're remembering. It's so important that gift of remembering is one of the great things that we humans have. And we like to use it a lot during this season in particular as we think of those who've gone on and honored those who are still here and have meaning. One of the memories and one of the honors, actually the honoree that I have on my list this year, we're going to do something a little bit different for tonight because it's her birthday. And her name is Judy Knapp. And she has been treasure of the Historical Society for right now 20 years since its inception. And she's just stepped down from that position. She's going to remain on the board. And Del Waterhouse is going to take her place to give her a little relief. But I thought it would be appropriate to sing Happy Birthday. I'll start you Judy. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Judy. Happy birthday to you. Well, allowing her to step down was very difficult. I thought it for a couple of years. But I did so when she promised that she would do this activity for us each year. Well, you didn't say that. She was the chair of this event for a long time. So we're going to read the names now. And after we read the names, we're going to go out and light the tree. Sing Silent Night. And then come in and have some hot chocolate and goodies. Okay. So here we go. Pat Badore from Tony Katie. Robert Bob Bullregard from Tammy Bullregard from Richie Co. All right. Are you going to stand back there and sing? It's going to be a long night. Okay, I'm going to start over again. Pat Badore from Tony Katie. Robert Bob Bullregard, Tammy Bullregard from Richard and Bea Rianne. Bea Rianne Bullregard. Thank you. Alan Standover.

Rogers, Mabel Rogers, Reverend Thomas Smith, Philip Thayer, Patricia Bruce from David and Mary Ann Book. A pause there just to add a word about Patricia Bruce. Patricia Bruce made history here in Worcester back in 1947. She and her husband Reginald were building a house right down here across from Sylvia Walker's place. She came over to Lad Mill to get some timber. This was in 1948. She was only, she was a newly wed. Her hair got caught in a shack and actually scalped her. She had a plastic surgery after a few months of recuperation. Her hair never grew back. She always wore a wig or a cap, but she left. She led a fruitful and joyous life passing away just last week at 91 years of age. Thank you, Audrey, for pointing that out. Helden Brown, Helen Brown from Mountain Brown.

Remember I was the loved ones. We lost last year. May the maximum, January 13th, when I was the resident. Patricia Dupont, March 21st, Laura Tyrell, April 3rd, David Belial, April 7th, John Stifler, April 30th, Steven Swannich, October 19th, Hours came, November 22nd, you guys, wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts. I know you didn't do this intentionally. I'm going to mention the name that you skipped over, but it's just to show you that I was listening. You don't want to be caught through it because she's not the minister. But she said, dear, she's from a, actually, it's, there she is. There she is, right there? It's her daughter. Oh, it's her daughter, okay. It's all right, why won't you? We're still, we're still worries, right? So the next thing on the agenda, out the door, the lighting of the tree. And by the way, thank you, Julia Newitt. Tonight, to light this tree that was donated by Tom Lane and managed over the years by the White family, we thank them very much for putting off, taking off the lights. It's an important job and it's a beautiful tree. We all know when we come into town from work or from being out that it's just a joy to see lit up here beside the town hall. We don't know how much longer this tree is going to stand here. It's a little mentor next to it who is just itching to take over. I don't think we can get 200 plus lights on that little tree quite yet, so we hope it's good for another year or two. We're going to have to do some trim work on it, though, I think, before next Christmas. But join us as we sing Silent Night and as we sing, the lights will come on. I just wanted to let you know that the light at the top is in Bonnie Power's cane's name. Thank you all so much. Come back in now for a little fellowship and some goodies and hot chocolate.
