Camilie Piper became Camilie Twiss and last I knew (2016), was the treasurer for the Watatic Grange. Her husband was my neighbor and big brother protecting me from the bullies at school.

What does 'P of H" on the above float stand for? Where are Lila, Louise, and Winifred? George Standley, the driver, was Camilie's Piper's stepfather and husband of Emily, the woman I worked with at Tricnit who was a 'turner'. He was also our 'fishman'. He drove to Boston in the early AM and brought back fresh fish to New Ipswich delivered fish to a number of households. William E. Preston was around 80 at the time of Bicentennial and died a yr after this. His wife Eva lived with us for a while and then went into a nursing home. She was fascinated with television and would look behind our TV to see where the picture was coming from. I think my sister Eva was named after her.

"P of H" stands for "Patrons of Husbandry"

I was curious about the "P of H" also. The television remembrance reminds me of a story my cousin told about his Irish grandparents. They would put food out in front of the radio for the "little people" that inhabited that magic box.
