rrrrr - It sure feels like winter now. Thanksgiving is already in the
rear view mirror and the rest of the holidays are fast approaching.
Shortly after the New Year, our annual Winter Reunion will be upon us
already. This year it promises to be a great time and is more in the spirit
of a true reunion. We’re also supporting a fantastic local cause, the NH
Food Bank. If you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for? See
Cassandra’s write-up on page 6 for more details.
Now go finish up all that shopping you’ve been putting off and we’ll see

White Mountain Chapter’s Winter Reunion 2011
A Great Time for Friends Old and New

events
A look back at the Winter Reunion of 2009.
W
ith Thanksgiving just behind us, it is hard to think about exciting parties in January. Before you know it though, the new year
will roll around, and the club’s annual party and charitable fundraising
event will be here. Don’t miss out; register today! This year, there is a
limit on the number of attendees, so register early to guarantee a place
at the event of the season! Register online via the chapter website; see
page 13.
The Winter Reunion will be held on January 22, 2011 at The Common
Man in Concord from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. A silent auction and light
musical entertainment will be a part of the event. In lieu of an actual “act”,
the entertainment will consist of a two-piece light jazz band. Great music, outstanding food and superb auction items are the highlights of the
evening.
The New Hampshire Food Bank is the charity for this year’s Reunion. As
in the past, funds raised at the Winter Reunion are used by the club to assist a local charity that services all of New Hampshire. With much of the
state still in the grips of a recession, many families are in need - more so
now than in the past. Therefore we are requesting that all attendees bring
a non-perishable food item to the party. All items will be given to the New
Hampshire Food Bank. Just another way to show the generosity and kindness of the club’s members. The club is working with a company who may
match the money raised at this year’s event - an opportunity to do even
more to help the most!
Even if you are unable to attend, please consider a donation (monetary or
otherwise) to the New Hampshire Food Bank. Your efforts will go a long
way in helping others in need. To learn more about the New Hampshire
Food Bank, visit their official website at www.nhfoodbank.org.

A Ghoulish Good Time
The 2010 Haunted Back Roads Rally
text by: David Harrison
photos by: Michael Morin
events
Carving up the beautiful autumn New Hampshire countryside.
T
he WMC held its long anticipated Haunted Rally in October. This
Back Roads Rally, snowed out in 2009, necessitated a reschedule for
2010. With improved weather this year, on Sunday the 17th, over 30
adventurous participants arrived at the Merrimack starting point.
The first haunted site of the rally was the Common Man restaurant which
was formerly the home of Matthew Thornton. Matthew was the last signer
of the Declaration of Independence and left behind a great home in 1803
when he died. His son turned it into a pub along the Daniel Webster highway. Now the Common Man, it serves
up great meals which were enjoyed by
all who attended on that crisp autumn
morning. None of our crowd claimed to
see or hear Matthew even though the staff
and Ghost Hunters have heard and noted
strange happenings over the years.
Our group rolled up in a variety of cars. A sporty BMW was the perfect
car to drive on this beautiful day. Ron and Bonnie Goudreau brought their
Z3 convertible and led the way as the first two on the course. Several
other ragtops took advantage of the great trail and early sunshine. Some
parties even brought the whole family like the Judds from Derry. Roland
and Vivian Beaule were hard to miss in their gorgeous bright red 328i.
Isabelle Creto was the youngest participant at the age of four and is already
an experienced backseat CCA event attendee. She did bring her Mom and
After brunch the BMWs formed up at
the Thornton Graveyard across the street
from the Common Man to get their instruction handouts, leading them to
seven other haunted sites along the 100
mile drive. A variety of cars headed south
out of the parking lot towards a possible
meeting with the unknown or undead.
The mandatory release form let all participants know that they would proceed
on this rally “at their own risk of bodily
injury or death.” I am glad to report everyone survived their trip which involved
a day full of graveyards, haunted houses,
and ghostly sites.

Autumn in New Hampshire is beautiful and the leaves were at peak as the
route followed back roads through the countryside. The self-paced run
allowed folks to stop and visit highlighted spots of interest or be content
to view everything from the road.

the attention of participants. For no real reason, Gilson Cemetery gave all who stopped a feeling of something sinister in the air.
The final haunted site was the New Hampshire Capital Building in Concord and the last stop of the rally
was the Common Man restaurant just down the street. Those who stopped in for food and drink compared
notes and tales of creepy graveyards, beautiful scenery, and chance meetings of other drivers throughout
the afternoon. Overall, the event brought together old friends, new friends, and maybe a few ghosts.
