CONWAY — Former Remick Country Doctor and Farm Museum director Bob Cottrell of Chocorua has been named as Ed Stevens' replacement as curator of the Henney History Room at the Conway Public Library. Trustees unanimously approved Cottrell's hiring at their May 23 meeting by a vote of 6-0, according to library director Tara Thomas. Cottrell had been recommended by Stevens and Thomas. He was among the four candidates interviewed out of the field of 22. “It was a very strong field. The four who were interviewed were all very capable,” said Thomas May 25. “They are all very wonderful people, and all would have been good, but we think that Bob is the best fit for the position.” see COTTRELL page 9
