Epsom Public Library News
As part of the Epsom Public Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program,
Carl Lindblade, an Affiliate Professor at UNH, will speak on “The
Roosevelt Funeral Train” at the library on Wednesday, August 7, at
7:00 p.m.
The Roosevelt Funeral Train, carrying the body of the just-deceased
president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, took four days in April 1945,
to travel from FDR’s vacation spot in Warm Springs, Georgia, to Hyde
Park, New York where he was to be buried.
The journey of FDR’s funeral train was a thousand-mile odyssey, and
tens of thousands of Americans waited by the side of the train
tracks to pay their respects to Roosevelt (whose body lay in a
flag-draped casket visible through the windows of the funeral
train’s rear Pullman). The train carried pretty much the entire U.S.
government aboard, including one dead president and one live one,
both of their families, the Cabinet and the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
the diplomatic corps, leaders of both houses of Congress, and the
nine Justices of the Supreme Court.
Plus, the journey was fraught with heartbreak and scandal. As the
train passed through the night, few of the grieving onlookers knew
what was happening behind the Pullman shades, where women whispered
and men tossed back highballs. Inside was a Soviet spy, a newly
widowed Eleanor Roosevelt, who had just discovered that her
husband’s mistress was in the room with him when he died and the
incoming President Harry S. Truman who was scrambling to learn
atomic secrets FDR had never shared with him. (Courtesy of Dover, NH
website) These many deceptions and betrayals will all be explained
and uncovered by Mr. Lindblade.
Letter
Thank you Steve, Christie and Tom for taking such good care of the
vacant lot located on the corner of Route 4 and Black Hall Rd. in
Epsom.
For some time this vacant lot was overgrown with weeds and littered
with trash. For the past several summers, thanks to the above, the
lot has taken on the appearance of a well manicured park.

Epsom Central School Staff And Faculty
Kathleen Lombardi, Title I Teacher
Kathy, a friendly, soft-spoken person, is a Title I Teacher who
offers remedial reading to students. Most of her day is spent
teaching reading groups in the classroom. She also works
individually with some students. Having completed assessments on
students in grades K-5, Kathy is now working with 15 students,
helping them approach the mainstream in reading skills. Title I
Teachers use various programs, depending on the need.
Kathy has a BS in Elementary Education from Keene State College, and
is certified in the Reading Recovery Program. She has been working
in education for about 30 years, having taught in Chichester and
Allenstown, and is now in her 11th year at ECS. She has also taught
Kindergarten and Third grade. She loves making connections with the
kids. Kathy says that she really gets to know the children well, as
she works with some of them one-on-one. She likes to see their
confidence grow as their reading skills improve. She says, “ECS is a
great place to work. Everyone is very supportive and it feels like a
family. They’re there for you.” She would ask parents to help their
children build background knowledge by reading to and with them,
taking them places, and letting them see their parents reading too.
Kathy has four grown children and two grandchildren. Her eldest
daughter is about to present her with her third grandchild. Kathy
lives in Pittsfield with her son and daughter and has a cat, Lily.
She volunteers extensively for the Red Cross, the Concord
Contemporary Club, and her church, and works as an usher at the
Capital Center for the Arts. When she does have a minute for
herself, she loves to spend time with family and friends as well as
travel.
