10/24/09 2-5 pm. Judd and Linda Adams hosted a fun end-of-season party for the Ecology Committee.  The potlock was funded in part with money given by Andre Roy for green slash generated during two October tree-thinning work days at Gate 8.  In addition to delicious food and excellent conversation, Judd offered a tour of the historic Batterson Barn, nearby Batterson homestead site, and the wetlands on his property. Attendees included: Diane, Ellen, Harry, Jonathan, Judy, Lee, Odell, Pat (2008 Land Steward of the Year), Steve Horsmon (GVM Manager), Susan, and Suzanne. Judd hopes to have a spring party to kick of the 2010 season.
