On Friday evening, the Waltham Volunteer Fire Department held a dinner at the Waltham Station Restaurant. It was to honour Charlie Ethier, who retired this past year. He was presented with a plaque for his dedication and faithful service for the past 53 years. Fire chief Larry Perry and Ray Bechamp were also honoured for their dedication and faithful service for the past 54 years. Everyone enjoyed a tasty roast beef dinner with all the trimmings. Lieutenant Michelle Vanasse was the emcee for the evening and spoke quite eloquently about the many years of contributions and leadership by all three senior members.
