Please join us for a journey into cinema history to the Wilton Town Hall Theatre in Wilton NH.
We will meet at the Dunks in Lancaster MA, and follow a twisty back roads route to The Kettle for lunch.
The Kettle is a reasonably priced ($20-30) restaurant with an excellent eclectic menu.
After lunch, we will walk across the street to the Theatre.

The Theatre opened in 1885 as a vaudeville venue. In 1912, the theatre exhibited its first silent
film, and by the 1920s was in regular use as a cinema. The Theatre continues in operation to
this day, running a program of independent and classic films. The cinema prides itself on its
extra bright projector, comfortable seating, and freshly popped popcorn with real butter.

This Sunday the Theatre is screening the 1928 silent comedy “Steamboat Bill, Jr”. Bill Junior
(Buster Keaton) is the foppish Bostonian son of tough-as-nails Mississippi paddleboat captain
Steamboat Bill (Ernest Torrence). His budding romance with Kitty (Marion Byron) is quickly
thwarted by her father, a wealthy rival riverboat owner (Tom McGuire). Bill Junior might be a
massive disappointment to his father on a normal day, but when a literal cyclone hits, this
walking disaster just might be the only one who can save the day.

Live accompaniment to the film will be provided by traveling silent film composer / organist Jeff Rapsis.
Destination: Wilton Town Hall Theatre

David R. Comeau

August 25, 1946 — April 15, 2025

WORCESTER – David Raymond Comeau, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, neighbor, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2025, at the age of 78 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Born on August 25, 1946, in Haverhill, Massachusetts, David lived a life marked by intelligence, uniqueness, and a delightful quirkiness that endeared him to all who knew him.
David was the son of J. Norman Comeau and Alma (Boiselle) Comeau. He shared a loving marriage with his wife, Helen Comeau, whom he wed on June 12, 1971, in Iowa. He was a devoted father to his daughter, Jill Marie Comeau and her husband Randy Broxson, and a cherished grandfather to Nicole and Logan. David was also a brother to Claire, Peter, and Phillip. His life took shape from many significant family members and close friends. He was preceded in death by his wife Helen, his parents, and sister Claire Bond.
A man of intellect and skill, David graduated from Haverhill High School in 1964 and went on to earn an associate’s degree in mechanical engineering from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. His career as a mechanical engineer in the plastics and business sectors highlighted his sharp mind, culminating in his role as the owner of Albright Technologies, where his innovative spirit thrived.
David’s community involvement reflected his generous spirit, with active participation in events such as the Sterling Town Fair and volunteer work with students in robotics through Nypro with US First that left a lasting impact. His personal life was filled with joy, from his hobbies of traveling, Miata Club activities, pottery, and tending to his beloved fruit trees. His special talents for humor and pranks brought laughter to those around him. He found solace swimming in the chilly waters off the New Hampshire coast and cherished travel adventures with his family.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend visiting hours on May 31, 2026 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Miles-Sterling Funeral & Tribute Center, 100 Worcester Road in Sterling, followed by a luncheon at the Chocksett Inn at 2:30 PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial donations be made to Hospice at Rose Monahan in Worcester, MA (vnacare.org/donors) or McLean Hospital’s psychiatric services (giving.mclean.org).
To leave a message or share a memory please visit www.milesfuneralhome.com

Mass Miata Website Narrative:
“Sunday Drive to the Gropius House”
Please join us on a drive and group tour of the Gropius House. Walter Gropius, founder of the German design school known as the Bauhaus, was one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. He designed Gropius House as his family home when he came to teach architecture at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. Modest in scale, the house was revolutionary in impact. Gropius House is a National Historic Landmark. Gropius House combined traditional elements of New England architecture—wood, brick, and fieldstone—with innovative materials including glass block, acoustical plaster, chrome banisters, and the latest technology in fixtures. It features furniture designed by Marcel Breuer and fabricated in Bauhaus workshops. With the family’s possessions still in place, Gropius House has a sense of immediacy and intimacy.
We will meet at 8:00 A.M. at Kimball’s Farm 1543 Lunenburg Rd Lancaster, MA. We will depart at 8:30 A.M. for the 1 1/4 drive to the Gropius House located in 68 Baker Bridge Rd, Lincoln MA.

“Books you don’t need, in a place you can’t find “

At the Montague Bookmill in Montague, Massachusetts, you can wander through rooms of used books, sip piping-hot coffee, and revel in the lovely natural surroundings.
About Us
The Montague Bookmill is a used bookstore housed in an 1842 gristmill, set on the banks of the Sawmill River, a few miles north of Amherst and Northampton, Massachusetts. Our collection leans toward the academic, but we have thousands of books, on just about everything from Austen and anarchy to Zola and zoology. Our books are generally half-price, including recent publisher’s overstocks. Don’t look for our catalogue on line; we’re not that bookstore. But if we can’t find the book you’re looking for, we’ll find you a better one you didn’t know you wanted.

Our next stop on our trip will be lunch at: Tom’s Hot Dogs 61 State Road, Routes 5 & 10, Whately, MA 01373

Tom’s! Tom’s Famous Hot Dog & Grill in Whately, Massachusetts is a local landmark known for our long hot dogs, fries and soft drinks, generous grinders, juicy grilled burgers, Polish specialties, and our homemade, award-winning chili. We’re open year round.
https://tomslongdog.com/

After lunch we’ll head south to Granby Ma and a short stop at the “Notch “
Former Cold War command center inside the mountain
The former Cold War command center located inside the Holyoke Mountain Range (straddling the borders of Granby, Hadley, and South Hadley) is officially known as the Post-Attack Command and Control System (PACCS) Facility, and was widely nicknamed “The Bunker” or “The Notch”
The Mission: Constructed by the U.S. Air Force in 1957–1958, the 40,000-square-foot hardened bunker served as the alternate communications and combat operations center for the 8th Air Force and Strategic Air Command (SAC) at the nearby Westover Air Force Base
Survivability: The underground, two-story complex was carved deep into the rock of Bare Mountain to survive the overpressures of a nearby nuclear detonation.
Capabilities: Active through the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was designed to house up to 135 to 350 personnel for over a month and maintain command, control, and communication for U.S. nuclear forces if surface-level headquarters were destroyed.
Decommissioning: The site was rendered obsolete in the 1970s after Soviet reconnaissance and intelligence advances compromised its location

Then onto Atkins Farms 1150 West St. Amherst, MA 01002 for Ice Cream

Trip ends at Akins Farms Country Market
