The Richard Fry plaque has been installed at Avery Field, completing the installation of a community project Green Needham began last year. Green Needham had been seeking an installer for the plaque. Wayne Whisler, in Needham’s Facilities Management department, stepped in to assist. Wayne located and secured the services of a company the Town has worked with for other projects. They have installed the plaque on the rock at Avery Field. Following the site preparation and plantings coordinated last fall by the Town’s Parks and Forestry department under Ed Olsen, the installation is now complete.
Green Needham and Select Board Chair Kevin Keane have picked up their earlier conversations to plan a dedication ceremony sometime next spring, when the flowering bulbs and serviceberry trees will be in bloom.
