he Springfield Fourth of July parade has everything anyone could ask for – floats, candy, a grand marshal and … elephants? “There was a circus in town for the bicentennial in 1997,” said parade chair Deb Miller. “We let the elephant walk at the end, right down the parade route!” OK, so maybe there won’t be an elephant this time, but it is the 100th anniversary of the Springfield Fourth of July parade. It kicks off at 11 a.m. on Independence Day, and there are plenty of good times in store. “Everybody loves this parade,” said Andrea House, PR coordinator for the event. “It brings the community together.” “We’ve got 80 entries in the parade already,” said Deb. “16 fire departments, 20 floats, three school bands, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts …” “We’ll be throwing little Cabot cheeses off my float!” added Pat Pullis, who coordinates the displays and will be riding with her Roedale Farm “100 Years of Agriculture” float. “And we’ll throw candy from one end of this town to the next!” added Jonathan Miller, who, along with wife Deb, coordinates the parade annually. But cheese and candy aren’t the only things parade goers can catch during the hour-long march. “We’ve got a ‘Happy Float’ and we’ll be giving away over 2,000 red white and blue trinkets – hats, fans, all sorts of things,” said Deb. “Otsego Land Trust will be giving away saplings, and the Boy Scouts will give out 1,600 flags.” There’s even a secret prize to be found, if you go to a parade committee member – they’ll be wearing aprons – and ask them for the “special souvenir.” The second-oldest parade in the country got its earliest start in 1913, when bikes paraded through town on a southward route.

So far, over 600 runners have signed up to prove their stuff, with the first wave kicking off at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, July 4.

IN MEMORIAM Bob Lettis, 88; Retired Art Professor Helped Capture Bridge At Remagen COOPERSTOWN – Donald Robert (Bob) Lettis, one of the last surviving combatants in the Allied capture of the Bridge at Remagen during World War II and a retired art professor, passed away early Monday morning at his home. He was 88. Born July 29, 1925, in Cooperstown, he was a son of Donald F. and Charlotte (Hall) Lettis. Raised in Cooperstown, Bob graduated from Cooperstown High School, Class of 1943. He enlisted in Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge and other engagements. The Ludendorff bridge at Remagen was the last intact span over the Rhine, and its capture greatly assisted the Allied invasion of Germany and subsequent drive to the Danube. Bob’s role included establishing several

observation posts that located German artillery trying to destroy the bridge. He received a Donald Bronze Star Lettis and was honorably discharged on March 10, 1946. Upon his return to Cooperstown, he studied art education at Syracuse University. While a student, he married Grace Annamay (Gae) Carlsen of Oneonta in 1947. On his graduation, the Lettises moved to Worcester. After teaching for only one month, Bob was called back into the Army for the Korean Conflict. Fortunately, by the time he was ready to embark for Korea,

the war appeared to be over when Marines drove into North Korea, stopping at the Chinese border. (Later the Chinese entered the war.) Rather than being released, he was sent to Europe and served at the Seventh Army Headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, for a year. He was discharged a second time from service in 1951. While he was away, his daughter Charlotte was born. On his return, he taught at Worcester and Schenevus central schools for five years, then taught high school art at Cooperstown Central School from 1956 to 1964. During his years in Cooperstown, he was involved with Boy Scouting and amateur theatre productions. He also joined the Lions Club of Cooperstown on Feb. 2, 1958, and served

as club president in 1963. In 1964, Bob and his family moved to New Jersey. He attended Pratt Institute in New York City and received a master’s in fine art in 1966. The Lettis family then moved to Hingham, Mass., and Bob taught printmaking and art education at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston for 21 years. At Mass Art, the only publicly supported art college in the country, he served at vice president of academic affairs for five years and chairman of the Art Education Department for several years. He retired as professor emeritus in 1987. Following his retirement, Bob and Grace spent several years traveling in Europe and the Caribbean, as well as visiting their children, who live through-

out the United States. They moved back to Bob’s native Cooperstown in 2002. Bob is survived by three children, Charlotte Richardson and her husband, Kirk, of Portland, Ore., Paula Bedford and her husband, Jim, of Northville, Mich., and Daniel Lettis of Clayton, N.M.; six grandchildren, Briget Bent, Nicolle Meyer, Jacob Meyer, Daniel Meyer, Sam Richardson, and Henry Richardson; three great grandchildren, Tanner Bent, Jillian Bent and Katelyn Torres; and one niece, Carol Krutz. Bob was predeceased by his beloved wife of 66 years, Grace Annamay Carlsen Lettis, who died Jan. 5, 2014; his parents, Charlotte Hall Lettis and Donald F. Lettis; one brother, James F. Lettis,

who died May 14, 2006; and a nephew, Frank Krutz, who died in 2012. The memorial service is at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 5, in the Augusta Clark Room of the Cooperstown Art Association, 22 Main Street. The Rev. Betsy Jay, Bassett Hospital chaplain, will officiate. Interment will be at a later date in the Lettis Family Plot in Lakewood Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Lions Club of Cooperstown, P.O. Box 2, Cooperstown, NY 13326 or The Charlotte Hall Lettis Nursing Scholarship Fund, c/o Cooperstown Central School District, 39 Linden Ave., Cooperstown, NY 13326. Arrangements are with Connell, Dow & Deysenroth Funeral Home.

Joan was an active member of Christ Church in Cooperstown, where she taught Sunday School and served on the flower committee. She especially enjoyed decorating the sanctuary for Christmas and Easter. She was also a member of the Native Daughters of Cooperstown and often attended the annual luncheons with her mother, Gertrude, and sister, Jean. In her leisure, Joan enjoyed being a member of the Cooperstown Country Club, where she liked playing tennis with her fellow members. She loved floral arranging, gardening, shopping, and possessed a special style for fashion and decorating her home, especially for Christmas which was her favorite holiday. And she adored all the animals she owned throughout her life, perhaps most of all her beloved walking companion, Stanley. Joan will be fondly remembered for her overall joie de vivre, and will be greatly missed by her loving family and many friends.

OBITUARIES Joan W. White, 82; Cooperstown Businesswoman Active In Civic Life COOPERSTOWN – Joan Worrall White, a local businesswoman who possessed a flair for gardening, fashion and life, died early Sunday morning, June 29, 2014, surrounded by her family and caregivers, Linda and Patricia, at her home on Lake Street. She was 82. She was born June 1, 1932, in Camden, N.J., a daughter of Joseph C. Worrall, a former jockey for F. Ambrose Clark, and Gertrude Brisack Worrall, a well-known and respected nurse in the pediatric clinic at Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital. Joan first married Richard M. Jacobson on Feb. 18, 1952, in Lawton, Okla. She later married Richard Arthur White, Sr. in a ceremony at Christ Church in Cooperstown on May 3, 1980. Since 1951, Joan made Cooperstown her home and became well-known for her style, flair, and affinity for organizing and support of

community events . For many years she owned The Smart Shop and The Village Squire on Main Street Joan White in Cooperstown as well as stores in Canajoharie and Fort Plain. She later bought and sold merchandise for The Church Mouse Boutique and The Farmers’ Museum Gift Shop. A long-time member and past president of The Lake & Valley Garden Club, Joan was also a member of the Garden Club of America. For over three decades, Joan and her late husband, Richard, were loyal supporters of the Friends of Bassett and were part of The President’s Forum and The Cupola Society. During the more than 20-year history of the Bassett New Year’s Eve Gala, Joan was a long-time committee member and

made a great impact on the success of the New Year’s Eve Silent Auction which supports multiple programs at Bassett. Of the Episcopal faith, Joan was an active member of Christ Church in Cooperstown, where she taught Sunday School and served on the flower committee. She especially enjoyed decorating the sanctuary for Christmas and Easter. She was also a member of the Native Daughters of Cooperstown and often attended the annual luncheons with her mother, Gertrude, and sister, Jean. In her leisure, Joan enjoyed being a member of the Cooperstown Country Club, where she liked playing tennis with her fellow members. She loved floral arranging, gardening, shopping, and possessed a special style for fashion and decorating her home, especially for Christmas which was her favorite holiday. And she adored all the ani-

Karma To Flame At 4th Celebration, Band Of Docs Is Planning To Rock FOURTH/From B5 Karma fire dancing troupe. And this year, the party will keep rolling into Saturday evening. “Why take down the bounce houses and the bathrooms?” said Mandigo. “We want to invite families back for a relaxing day in the park.” 13 bands from Oneonta and Cooperstown, including Original Crooks and Nannies and Gradient, a group made up of Bassett surgeons and physicians, will vie for a $500 prize and top billing at First Night against bands from as far away as Binghamton and Brooklyn at the Battle of the Bands on Saturday, July 5. The music was originally slated to start at 5 p.m., but the response was so overwhelming that it had to be pushed back to 3 p.m. “These bands really support each other,” she said. “They’re all in this to be part of the musical community.”

EARLY BIRD SPECIALS During the first two hours, receive a gift with every purchase, along with incredible unadvertised specials.

The Battle of the Bands is part of the “Battle Day,” theme, which also includes a skateboard competition hosted by The Museum Skate Shop. “We wanted to get the kids involved, and the teens really embraced this,” she said. “They recruited skateboarders and raised $1,000 in prizes.” The event is drug and alcohol free, which Mandigo attributes their success to. “We haven’t had one single police incident, not even with 15,000 people,” she said. “The police walk around the park with big smiles on their faces. People even go outside to smoke.” And ultimately, Carol says, it’s a way to bring the community together. “It’s important that we have a place to have fun that doesn’t cost a fortune,” she said. “It’s a place where the community can enjoy the day without stress or expense.”
