Each troop presented a piece ofthe day's program. Scouts in Junior Troop431 coordinated the making ofa "hand-print" American flag. Each girl who attended the ceremony had the opportunity to place her handprints onto the flag. The end result is a wonderful piece ofart, which demonstrates their pride in theircountry. The scouts voted to donate the flag to the Town of Belmont and it is proudly displayed in the Comer Meetinghouse." A photograph ofthe flag is shown on this year's Annual Reportcover. We would like to thank Candace Daigle for designing the cover of this year's Town Report. Leslie Edson Roberts August 7, 1921 - July 27, 2001 "Pillar of our Community" Leslie Edson Roberts died July 27, 2001. Leslie who was 79 years old when he died was a resident of Belmont for more than 50 years. He lived by honoring God, taking care of his family, and helping neighbors. He was a loyal and active citizen who served his community in numerous ways; namely a member of the Budget Committee for 49 years. He also was very involved with the successful development of the Belmont Town Beach, which was opened in July 2000. In August 2001, the Belmont Town Beach property was dedicated to Leslie E. Roberts and named "The Leslie E. Roberts Beach and Recreation Area." A plaque was mounted on a rock located near the entrance of the beach to commemorate Les's hard work for a Town he loved. The name of Leslie Edson Roberts will never be forgotten. He will live forever in our memory. Doralyn M.
