Support the Republiucan Newspaper! It's only $9.95/year for the online edition!

Mother’s Day will mark the 7th anniversary of the memorial wall located on the property of Our Town Theatre's Backstage building in Oakland. The wall was dedicated to all the citizens of Garrett County who "died too young." The board of directors at Our Town Theatre opens up the list for additional names at this time every year. Persons who would like to add a young person's name to the wall may do so by sending information to Jane Avery, artistic director. Each brick can contain three lines of print: the child's first name forms the first line and his/her last name the second line, and the years of the person's birth and death are the third line. Persons are asked to print this information neatly, or type it, and send it before May 31 to Jane B. Avery, c/o Our Town Theatre, 121 Center Street, Oakland, MD 21550.

Each brick costs $25. Persons are not asked to donate the money, but are welcome to do so if they wish. Avery said there is enough money in the memorial fund to carve two or three bricks. Those who would like to donate to the wall project may send a check made out to Our Town Theatre Special Projects to the address noted above. For more information, persons may call Avery at 301-334-5640, ext. #3.
