James Roger diary entries
12th August 1912
Cloudy morning; fair and warm after; wind west. David at Library. I picked some blackberries and raspberries at Jim Davis Lane and picked 2 fowls. Alice and children picking blueberries in afternoon and women folks making preserves. Mr. Lord called in forenoon to talk about the Legislature.
It seems few fowls were safe those days in New Ipswich with James Roger picking at them all the time. Who stews fowls anymore now? We hardly hear about it in cooking media.
And if the Leonard I Kangas Post is indeed gone forever, even in spirit, that is a very sad and regrettable thing. He and his schoolmates brought honor to the Town by playing on the Appleton championship basketball team in the 1930s and by his supreme sacrifice at Guadalcanal in World War II.
The Attar Herbs and Spices business was formerly the home of the Leonard I. Kangas Post 107 American Legion, founded in 1953. If anyone remembers the date of when it was disbanded?
