The CHS regrettably informs that some months ago, the CHS Webmaster, Walt Kearny, died after battling a lengthy period of illness. He was a founding member of the Woburn Historical Society, had created their excellent website, and with little concern for his failing health, had taken on the task of updating and maintaining the CHS website.

Despite awareness of Walt's health issues, his passing was unexpected, and consequently much of what was in progress for website improvements passed into the ether with Walt .... some higher plain definitely has an amazing website, as Walt probably dreamed in HTML code ...

The CHS is now adopting some temporary measures to update this site, while longer term solutions are considered.

Walt Kearny, RIP.
