Reelection of Commander Peck at Babbitt Post
Last Friday evening for the eighth time George H Peck was elected commander of Babbitt Post G. This renewal expresses the Post’s confidence in Mr Peck as commanding officer and as a man. He has labored to keep comrades together and to benefit the Post, obtaining over 100 associate members through personal effort. The associates will stand with the Post as numbers dwindle and the old organization remains until its last member responds to the roll call. We wish Commander Peck a long life and a peaceful twilight.
