PAGE 4 TOWN OF MILTON A grateful Town wishes to thank the following individuals for their involvement in the community. Rodney Nason Beach and Parks and Recreation Robert "Bob" Page Selectman Barbara Smalley Librarian, Free Public Library 19 96 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 5 Two years ago, the Milton Chamber ofCommerce instituted a "Citizen of the Year Award". In a ceremony held on August 25, 1996, at the Nute High Gym, Charlie Logan was recognized for all his contributions to Milton. A long time Selectman and community volunteer, Charlie epitomizes what this award is all about. Like his predecessor, Emma Ramsey, our first year winner, he represents what is best about our town. Selectman Chairman Jim Culverhouse read a proclamation from the Board of Selectmen proclaiming August 25th forever to be Charlie Logan Day in Milton. In his remarks Selectman Culverhouse referred to the oft heard phrase "Ask Charlie Logan" as a guide to Milton history and it's progress through the years. Charlie was cited by all of the afternoons speakers as a person the Town had relied upon for years and a person who served as a great role model for all who have had the honor of sitting on the Board of Selectmen. Once again, on behalf of a grateful Community, our thanks go out to Charlie Logan for all he has done for the Town of Milton.
