I was born in Needham in '54. I spent the first four years of my life
at 17 Prince St. I wonder who's there now?

I came to this site looking for historical info on the founding of the
town. I understand that my great (x7) grandfather was one of the
petioners for the incorporation of the toen of Needham. My guess
would be that Benjamin Mills is buried in that old cemetery you spoke
of. (He died in 1734 or so.)

The web site is looking good! Just wanted to update you on The
Needham Channel 13 Web Site. We're planning on a new Local
Sports section, covering High School Sports - Football, Soccer,
Field Hockey, etc. Anyone who is on these teams and would like
to pass along up to date information would be welcomed!
Noah Pransky is compiling the stats, and they should be up
starting the week of October 14th. You're welcome to link to
them if you'd like... I'm hoping to update them several times a
week. Keep up the good work!

Is the guestbook posting real-time?

(webmaster's note: A little background...when we put together the site, one
of our goals was to provide interactivity, such as the guestbook. We also
wanted to ensure a professional and appropriate "flavor" of the site, and
were concerned about the kinds of postings we might receive through the
guestbook. As a result, we used a non-realtime guestbook paradigm - a
guestbook signer actually sends us their guestbook entry as an email, we
review it, and then post it to the page. We're very happy to report that in
the hundreds of guestbook postings we've received, not a single one was
inappropriate or otherwise unpostable.)

The Websites sure were a big help, when coming back.. after many years'

Looking great from Colorado, couldn't you use another name
besides the "town dump"?

(webmaster's note: Well, that's what we call it around here...I guess
formally it's the "Transfer Station", but for those of us that hang out there
on Saturday mornings, it is the dump!)
