[MassHistPres] Date Plaques on Historic Houses

[Ellen St. Sure]

Re: date plaques--
	 May I suggest that whoever is sponsoring date plaques use the  
occasion to double-check each house history before engraving its  
"date" in brass.  The expensive date plaques sold to Brewster  
homeowners a few years ago by the local Historical Society nearly all  
"immortalize" incorrect dates, based on inaccurate material compiled  
20 or 30 years ago.  This should actually be a welcome spur to a new  
round of research.
