A Tribute of Respect
In this, the 300th anniversary year of incorporation, Chelms- ford proudly recalls the record of its past.
We deem it a privilege to express our esteem and admiration to Chelmsford's sons and daughters who have availed themselves of opportunities to contribute their time and their skills, with a high sense of social responsibility, to the benefit of fellow citizens. Their mutual objective was a healthier, happier and more pros- perous Town.
The progress of Chelmsford has been outstanding and may be attributed to the staunch adherence to the ideals set by our forefathers. Some of the men and women who have served Chelms- ford have passed on and in memory we salute them. However, today there are those who can reminisce over a period of 75 years or more and rest assured that they have had a hand in shaping the destiny of Chelmsford and its inhabitants. To them, especially we would extend a word of appreciation.
It is impossible on this page to recognize each of you by name or to list the services rendered by you for the betterment of the Town of Chelmsford. We do wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude, in behalf of our fellow citizens, and to assure you that we realize we must continue to go forward, con- fident in the knowledge that honesty, fair dealing and the desire to make a better Chelmsford is our heritage.
"Let the Children Guard What the Sires Have Won."
The Chelmsford Tercentenary Committee
