The eagle has landed: Former scout Brent Putnam is Falmouth’s newest selectman
I'm not sure if Joe Burns, the reporter who interviewed me, knew that I'm an amateur astronomer. The title, "The eagle has landed," alludes to the statement made by Neil Armstrong when the Apollo 11 lunar module landed on the moon.
My swearing-in on Memorial Day was full of smiles. My friends, family and supporters joined me and the other newly elected candidates (and their friends, family and supporters) to watch the event.
My youngest daughter and I then walked to the village green. Michael Arth, the Teaticket Elementary school principal, had asked me and several other parents to help herd a few dozen 3rd and 4th graders along the parade route to the library where the children placed flowers and flags at the markers of Falmouth's veterans.
My thanks to Dawn and the other parents for helping with this.
The event was followed by some socializing at the library and then at the Elk's Club on Palmer Avenue. Thanks to everyone for all of the congratulations.
And yes, I've heard from a number of folks about the editorial in the Falmouth Enterprise. Obviously, not everyone is happy about my election. It happens.
