Mark your calendars and invite your friends and family. Bring
a lawn chair and enjoy an “old-fashioned concert in the park!”

Liz Barbour from Creative Feast will be cooking two recipes for us
from her new cookbook, “Beautifully Delicious: Cooking with
Herbs and Edible Flowers.” This will be her fourth visit with
us and she always prepares something yummy. She needs to
have a head count for grocery shopping so we have a sign-up sheet at
the circulation desk at the library or one could call the library at
736-9920 and make a reservation by July 5.
Congratulations to Christina Barton of Epsom who was named to the
Dean’s List at Paul Smith’s College during the spring 2017 semester.
Christina earned a semester average of 3.3 or higher to receive this
distinction.
Epsom Food Pantry
Another very busy week in the Pantry. With pick ups to deal with and
a goodly amount of members coming in, the staff was busy.
Remember, I put a list of volunteers in the paper? Well, Ken said I
missed a few, sorry. Here they are: Betsy, Sarah, Peter and
his crew of kids that help at the holidays, Joyce, Sharon, and Deb
B.
I do hope your gardens are thriving. We are anxiously awaiting
the first arrivals of fresh veggies. Just a word of caution, be
careful coming in and out of the Pantry parking lot as traffic has
increased due to summer travel. If you experience trouble,
just drive up the hill into the library yard and go out that way. Be
safe and watch out for the kids.
Until next time,
Priscilla
Epsom Public Library

Obituaries
John L. Campbell
John
L. Campbell, 66, of Epsom, passed away June 28, 2017, following
heart surgery, recovery from which was complicated by other failing
health conditions.
“Captain Jack,” as he was affectionately
called by some of his closest friends, was a Vietnam veteran.
Following service to his country, he became a key distribution
executive for several major US companies.
Always community
minded, Captain Jack, with one of his closest friends, Richard
(Dick) Frambach, also of Epsom, spearheaded an effort to try and get
the DeMoulas / Market Basket Chain to open a store in Epsom.
Throughout his life, Captain Jack put other people above himself and
being no stranger to politics, he actively supported only candidates
who put people above party. He was also no stranger to history. The
historical figure Captain Jack admired most was John Paul Jones,
father of the United States Navy and about whom he had been
researching and writing for the past 11 years.
At his request,
no end of life services will be held.
