Information obtained from: NH Climate & Health Program - Division of Public Health Services - NH Dept. of Health & Human Services - Concord, NH My thanks to all of you for getting together to put up a memorial brick at the senior center in my father s honor (William Corcoran). It was a wonderful thing to do. Dad was interred at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen on June 16, Also my thanks for the friendship and companionship shared with him by you for many years at the center. He spoke of the center and his friends often...it was one of the highlights of his life! Ken Corcoran 5
