Legion members caught on a fishing trip in Massachusetts was so grand Acton Legion members had to go down for a look About five years ago members of Georgetown Legion Branch 120 were in Plymouth Massachusetts on fishing trip While there stopped into the local Legion Norm Ward past president of Branch Soon after those first con versa lions at the Plymouth Legion more Georgetown Legion members were making the trip to Plymouth and Plymouth members were coming to Georgetown Finally in 1983 the Plymouth Legion Post voted to twin with Georgetown The twinning was complete in when Georgetown voted in favor of Mr Ward said About that time Acton made a connection in Massachusetts Ten miles from Plymouth is the town of Sandwich Massachusetts The Sandwich Legion wanted what many Legions have someone to twin with Mr Ward said Georgetown looked like a good prospect even though it already twinned with Plymouth Ward said I felt that being associated with both Plymouth and Sandwich was getting too big I suggested they get in touch with Acton Mr Ward said Acton response was en thus as tic one and since then a strong bond has developed between Sandwich and Acton That is the bones of the fishing story which started being told about five years ago and will continue to be told for a long lime The latest chapter in the tale involves the War Day Parade at the Canadian National Exhibition Saturday Legion members from Plymouth and Sandwich were in Georgetown and Acton from Friday to Sunday to meet with their twins and be part of the parade Color guards from Sandwich Plymouth Acton and Georgetown marched in the two- hour long parade The greatest advantage to hating a twin legion in the United Stales is the expression of friendship Mr Ward said Many strong friendships have developed
