Brookfield honors Martha Louise Atwood Puck as ninth Brookfield Town King
Summary
At the Brookfield Town Meeting a Heritage Commission member presented Martha Louise Atwood Puck as the ninth recipient of the Brookfield Town King award in recognition of her genealogy research, community service and long residency.
Bob Srivastik, a member of the Heritage Commission, introduced the ceremony by describing the honoree's local contributions, including transcribing and publishing a family-letter collection and creating the town's first newsletter. He said the award recognizes the town's "eldest resident" and its most cherished traditions.
"I now introduce to you the ninth recipient of the Brookfield Town King, Martha Louise Atwood Puck," Srivastik said during the presentation. Martha Puck accepted the honor and thanked the group.
The selectmen joined the Heritage Commission for the presentation, and the meeting rose for applause and the pledge of allegiance immediately afterward. The moderator reminded newly elected town officers to meet for swearing-in after the meeting.
