World War 2 Veterans Memorial

Monument to Commemorate the old Porter High School

image2632

  The memorial project was initiated by the building committee to commemorate the site of the old Porter High School. The original cornerstone was incorporated into the design of the monument along with the capstone with an etching of the old school.

The project committee was formed of former PHS alumni: Jan (McDonald) Iler, Becky (Weeks) Carpenter, Cindy (McDonald) Berube, Sylvia (Trueworthy) Pease, Vanessa (Johnson) Trueworthy, and Denise (Jordan) Day, Porter Building Committee Liaison. 

The initial design idea was created and presented to our citizens by Denise Day at one of our public hearings. However, due to the cost of the initial design, the committee decided it was too expensive to ask the townspeople to fund. Thus, the committee decided to use a single pillar design instead of the more expensive two pillar design.

Others involved were: 

· Steve Estes notifying 'Dig Safe' for us.

· Luc Collette of Collette Monuments, Lewiston for the etched capstone & delivery

· John Foss & his helper of Foss Masonry Inc., Limerick set the PHS cornerstone pillar

(New brick was used for the base & column because of the age of the old PHS brick  saved)

· Mike Jordan of Porter (helping to set the cornerstone with his tractor/loader?

· Nicholas Storer & helper, Samantha Staples of Stone Hill Landscaping, Limerick layed the walkway using the brick from the base of the PHS building which was an important factor in the conception of the entire project.

We would like to thank all the above people and businesses who helped make this project possible.

The monument is located on the left side of the building near the entrance to the Meeting Room. If you have not seen it yet, stop by sometime.  It is very impressive, and a job well done.
