We enjoyed a very interesting evening yesterday at the Cabot Historical Society where David Book, author and Civil War historian, presented a monologue as Abel Morrill, father of two Civil War soldiers killed in action.  We have heard David present before, so knew it would be both accurate and informative.  At right is David, as Abel, telling us about the circumstances of the wounding and deaths of young Abel, Jr., and Edward Jack Morrill.

As we were leaving the building, the sky opened and we got pretty well drenched on our way to our car.   This morning I recorded .74 in. of rain in the rain gauge.  I think it may have rained harder in Cabot Village.   We've had a reasonably nice day today, although it seemed to threaten to rain a few times.

This will be another busy week as Fred finishes putting photos from Bill Rossi's book, "Around the Pond," into the directory, and I continue finishing albums for the Cabot Historical Society.  The idea of pictures in the directory came from Andy Rudin, and Bill generously gave his permission.  There may be updates needed, but we will take care of that in due time.  The directory is password protected, and available only to Joe's Pond Association members.  So members - check it out!
