North Conway Color Guard leads the procession after the funeral of longtime North Conway fire chief Raymond Lowd, 88, Monday. Lowd was remembered with full honors as firefighters in dress uniform accompanied Lowd’s American flag draped casket as it rode atop the antique fire engine from the First Church of Christ to the fire station. The procession then included fire engines from around the valley, driving north, stopping in front of his house on Intervale Cross Road, finishing at his final resting place in the Kearsarge Cemetery. Lowd joined the fire department in 1946, becoming chief in 1961 until his retirement in 1985. More photos, page 15. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

The vans and their racks, owned by the rental companies, then turn back toward their bases of operations, while the car owners pull U-turns and park on the east side of the bridge. “For 29 years that’s how we’ve accessed see ACCESS page 9
