Taps played at Dan and Whits was a nice tribute, followed later by take down of the Main street flags.
Bob Totz does a nice job of it
I was told that there would be a rendition of ‘Taps’ played by Bob Totz at Dan and Whit’s at exactly 3:00 pm. I ventured out a little early to Wilder for a moment and on my way back got stuck at the traffic light as you are coming back to Norwich. I missed the rendition by about 30 seconds or so , but Bob was kind enough to play it again for me. He does such a good job of it and helps the American Legion out whenever asked to perform this., and other songs.

Taps and a wonderful rendition of it. (I only wish I switched my camera to video mode in time.) Does anyone else have a video of this that they would like to share with the Norwich residents? Please reach out if you do.

When I returned to my car, I had to think for a moment as this Jeep was mine for over 25 years and I sold it to them 2 years ago. My car was parked right next to it. Lucky dog gets to ride in my jeep, yeah in my mind it is still mine and I joke with Maggie all the time about this. Her response is take the keys any time, and my response back is I can’t because you would never get the Jeep back. Oh well !
