HONORING ALLAN LOTHROP A FREYBURG RESIDENT WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE ROTARY CLUB
The Fryeburg Area Rotary Club held a dedication ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 15th. at the Fryeburg Recreation center. The Club commissioned a bench in memory of deceased fellow Rotarian Allan Lothrop, who passed away in June of 2019. The ceremony was attended by Rotarians, Allan's daughter and son in law and friends of the family.
Allan was a longtime member of Fryeburg Area Rotary Club, a quiet man with a passion for Rotary and its mission. Allan was a Fryeburg resident who worked in the forest products industry as a key figure in the Forest Industries plant in Fryeburg and operated a dowel factory in Waterford. Many present shared fond memories of Allan.
Also attending was Bob Hatch, a sign maker who lives in Fryeburg and generously did the engraving on the bench.
The bench, a beautifully handcrafted piece of furniture, was built by Chatham custom woodworker Silas Eastman, of the Chester Eastman Homestead. Unfortunately, Silas was not in attendance.
A huge Thank You to Silas and Bob for their generous contribution.
