Historical Tidbit:
In Honor of E. Joseph LaLiberte
"In 1982, more than five-hundred people gathered to honor E. Joseph LaLiberte on his retirement. He had served the town well since his appointment as superintendent in 1966. When he was told that the junior high school would bear his name, he said, "I can't think of anything that would honor me more. It is just awesome. My name is part of the town of Raynham now. I hope the town will be proud of me having served it."
The Dr. E. Joseph LaLiberte Junior High School was built in 1965."
From: The History of Raynham, Patrice White

How to Rake Without the Ache!
Never continue to do one task using the same hand and the same repetitive motion. It can lead to aches and a weakened posture that can cause injury. Switch hands while raking, spending a few minutes on each side of the body so both get worked and neither gets overworked.
