<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Please see attached for details about the procession to honor the 2 DOT workers killed in Waterville over a month ago. It is this Saturday, Feb. 28 starting late morning and proceeding
from Fairfield to Augusta Civic Center. At least 25 towns had responded to me affirmatively a month ago and I understand that may have changed since then for some of you.
<u>There is no need to let me know…..just follow instructions</u> and, note at bottom, that all should remove any wings and plows due to parking issues with State Gold Ball basketball championships happening that day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Would your town/city/company be interested in being part of a tribute to the 2 gentleman who died last week while working on I-95?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">The Commissioner is planning to organize a vehicle procession in honor of Dwayne Campbell and James Brown, the two gentlemen that were killed last Tuesday in Waterville. We currently do not have a date set
for this event as the families have asked that we hold it after their 2 funerals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">I’m reaching out to municipal and private companies to gauge how much interest there would be in participating in this event with us? If interested, it would involve bringing either a pickup (or sedan) or
a dump/plow truck to form a long procession on I-95. Initially we are thinking about leaving from Fairfield, traveling south on I 95, stopping briefly at the bridge where the accident occurred then continuing to the Augusta Civic center for a brief ceremony.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">At this time, <u>all I’m asking is if your town or company would be interested in participating</u> with a vehicle so we can judge the magnitude of this event. Once the families make funeral arrangements,
we will firm up a date for this event. Thanks for your consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Simply reply to me directly and I will start the list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
