Oxford, Massachusetts, would love your help to celebrate its 300th anniversary, or Tercentennial.
The Oxford Tercentennial Committee officially kicked off its Annual Sponsor Program by announcing the names
of two major business contributors and one individual contributor in the annual program.

This little town is in the southern central region of the Bay State, a part of Worcester County. Among other things, it is best known as the birthplace and home of Clara Barton, who was the founder of the American Red Cross.
My family lived there through much of my adolescent years, from age 4 to 12. So, as you might imagine, this town provides me plenty of memories from my youth that live in me today. (Many of those memories are idealized under the glazing of time, of course. However, as historic as the town was then, much has changed, but so much of the setting and buildings have remained, unchanged. Inf act, I still know folks who live there now who lived there then. That's kinda nice for a guy who's lived in quite a few places over the decades.)
