Fatherhood Coalition

Steven Cook Candlight Vigil

Directions and Program

April 28, 2001, 6 - 8 p.m., Needham Town Common


The Needham Town Common is right in front of the Needham Town Hall adjacent to Route # 135 which is directly off of Route # 128.    Many of you will remember the exit( #17) for the Dedham House of Corrections - i.e."Free Harry."  I was a guest there myself . . . .   Go right into the center of town.  The common will be at the second traffic light.  It is approximately two miles from the prison.   If you are coming from the North, you will notice the beautiful Orthodox Church, St. John of Damascus, on your left as you come down the ramp.  Go left.  Coming from the South, go right, and you will pass the entrance to the correctional facility on your left. You can also get off near Muzi Ford(Exit #19, I believe), and follow Highland street in to the center.
     Hope to see you all there on the 28th to pay your respects.

                                              For the Kids' Sake, Earl Henry Sholley

PS Try to get there by 5:30 so we can have a bigger impact on the press.  Who has a video camera?  Please call me at (508) 699-0432
