Most know j Hellgren has a home in Fl. And is still in Chatham. There was iis also the " Fl. Lawyer" (sorry but his name escapes me) who contributes to the site, I wish them well. I know John is still in Chatham at the moment, but there is certainly major concern for all

There are things being posted that distort the truth. No specific accusations,
but there are many people around who knew Dougie Bohman well. Also her two
living sons. Writing a Chatham history would be a daunting task. I have published
4 books, all with more limited scope, and the effort required is huge. Richard
is working on what he remembers is more reasonable. Rob Carlisle, who is
deceased, was a professional writer and did an excellent job on the areas of
Chatham history he wrote about.

Wow, what has happened to our Town? Douglass Ann Bohman was Chairman of the Board of Selectmen and the flags are not at half staff? She died Friday, her 3 sons are well-known in Town, she was Ladies Gold Champion at Rastward Ho, is there NO one left who can honor our past? Even in Church today I saw maYbe two or three people who might remember her.....not dark ages.....30 yrs ago?

I do know the ins and outs of writing a book, as I have written about the Old Harbor Station . It is called "Seashore Sentinel" and is available at the Salt Pond visitor center in Eastham as well as the book shop in Centerville.
I am working on a new book entitled "From Aunt Lydias Cove to Cape Cod Bay - My Jobs, Voyages and Vehicles Along the Way".
It does cover some Chatham stuff - the first 19 years at least.
But I would be remiss if I left out 20 years of experiences in the U.S. Navy, and the 30 cars, tractors and other vehicles I've had.

John, thanks for the sad but not unexpected news! Dougie was a good friend, a smart civic minded Chatham lover, an outstanding lady golf champion, a funny lady with her very own bridge! I will always remember her.
