Dear Editor,
As a direct paternal descendant of Oliver Wolcott (1726-1797), one of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, my family and I very much appreciated the festivities at our fairgrounds on the 4th of July. Much applause for the woman who organized the gathering, and thanks to Country Chevrolet for the free hot dogs. Lem Lemx. Sincerely, James Gordon Perkins
