The
Osterville His-

Wimpy's Restaurant with
nearly 50 members in at-

During the evening Willis

eted Grace Chesbro Award,

ing history."Willis Leonard

in the Boat Shops who gave
instructive and knowledge-
able tours to visitors. Willis
loved the Museum and we
miss his presence," said Dr.

society.
The business meeting
recapped a banner year
at the Historical Society

museum; and continued
building improvements that
included a new roof , side-
wall re-shingling, foundation
repairs, and refurbishment
of the Children's room.
