Fire Blakelys, now in their mid eighties, were asked by the museum to retire so younger caretakers could take over. The departure sparked unhappiness and a recent unsigned letter-writing effort aimed at embarrassing the museum appeared, with one note published in Friday's Banner from a Minnesota woman and another from California. The piece also notes land questions tied to Robinson’s followers and land location history around Seminary Lane. In Arlington, Frank X. McFarland, a retired NYC detective and U.S. Coast Guard veteran, died at Putnam Hospital. Burial plans include St Columban's Cemetery with entombment in spring. The obituary references a late wake at Hanson-Walbridge Funeral Home and military honors.
