At a Brandon Selectboard meeting last year, a resident set off a minor firestorm when they said Brandon was becoming “Disneyland.” The comment was meant to be critical of Brandon’s emphasis on fun activities, but many Brandonites took it as a compliment.

This round of alliterative surnames started with recollections of my late Mayflower Society friend, “Mrs. Cecil Goodheart,” née Helen Clara Churchill, who lived at 61 Park Street in Brandon.

The Hill Cemetery in Sudbury stands on a bluff just north of the town green, on the west side of Route 30. It’s a breathtaking location, with sweeping westward views of the Champlain Valley and the Adirondacks beyond.

The Brandon Selectboard convened for its regular meeting on Monday evening.
