PM'd you back. If more people are in agreement and a more specific timeline is set, then I'll send him a letter or email. He is very much into the history here so I'd like to think he'd have the clout to get approval for such a thing. He even used to have a local cable show every week for a few years called Old Tyme Taunton where he discussed the history here.
Heck, maybe we could do this AND an old farm somewhere. More than one group hunt wouldn't be a bad idea either
Take it another step too..... "Maybe" he could arrange for a video crew from the cable station to video it all and put a local history program together.... I think the state would be more inclinded to approve the taping of a history program... just a new angle thought....
I was thinking that too but since he's been the Mayor for about 3 years now he no longer does the show but is still very much involved in the city's History as far as co-writing and supplying most of the old photos for the pictorial books. I was still thinking it might still be good publicity in the local newspaper.
Think we'd have to offer to sign some kind of waiver to be on that property though not holding the state or city responsible for anything?
It would be a real feather in his hat if one of us were to find something historically significant to the area that he could "present" to his local historical commission.....just look at the good publiciity (for him and for us). Just a thought. Steve
