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.
I agree. I did a search and could find no reference to the Leonard Kangas post after 1954 in the press. Until 1954 the Nashua telegraph did cover their meetings. Someone like Lance Deplante might know.
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?
I remember they were together in the 60's and 70's at least. Held Bingo games the the N.I. Legion then on Monday nights. And put on a couple carnivals at Memorial Field in the 60's

There were no meetings in the press after 1954. I'm wondering if they merged with the Post in Greenville.

Dec. 20, 1949??? That's the day I was born!
Carl, on Dec 20, 1949, the Leonard Kangas held its first meeting, you were too young to remember.
