Sunday, May 26th Galen Wilson and Bill Horsley had the pleasure of presenting the Tony Varilone Memorial Bench to the Varilone family. Several years ago Ralph Reeves, who has since passed away donated some money for a bench in memory of Tony to be placed on the Hooper Trail Connector. When Tony was on the Caribou Development Foundation, he was a major player in making the Hooper Trail Connector materialize. It took longer than we expected, but after visiting with Jeanne and Heidi about placement and arranging for the City Maintenance department to level us a spot we finally placed the bench earlier this week so we could present it to the family while Chris and Heidi Varilone Thompson were in town for the Memorial Day weekend. The Caribou Historical Society would like to express their thanks to Ralph Reeves, the City maintenance Department, and the Varilone Family.
