Fred E. Nason A native of Wakefield, Fred lived and worked in the area all his life. Interested in helping his community, he joined the Sanbornville Fire Department in 1946 at the age of 1 8. Fred was a firefighter and also a member of the Ambulance Corps in the 60's and 70's. In the early 80's the Sanbornville Fire Department became the Wakefield Fire Department, and Fred became the Assistant Chief for a number of years, as well as Fire Commissioner. Whether it was talk- ing to people about Department issues or helping new members with questions on training, the Fire Department was his life for 60 years. Fred also was the Chief of the Brookfield Police Department, as well as a member of the Wakefield Police Department from 1 968 to 1 978. Paul H. McNally Although Paul was not a native of Wakefield, his connection to our community began many years ago when he spent summers of his youth on Lovell Lake with his family. As a young man, Paul even worked as assistant to the meat cutter at the Lovell Lake Market. In 1 993, Paul 'retired' to Wakefield, where he quickly became involved in Town affairs. Paul served on the Planning Board from 1996 to 2005 and acted as Chair or Vice Chair for five of those years. Still finding room on his plate, Paul joined the Board of Assessors in 1997, a posi- tion he held until his passing in May of 2006. .both true gentlemen, who are sorely missed.
