THANKS TO THE WORK OF ROBERT MEADE and the Woolwich Town Monument Committee, the Tanner Square Monument is getting a facelift. The monument, which was installed in 1950, honors men and women from Maine who served in World War II. The foundation of the monument cracked, so Meade engaged the services of mason Paul Marseglia of Dresden, who has begun the work of restoring the foundation, brass plate and stonework. Work began last week, and will continue into the fall. Pfc. Richard George Tanner, Meade said, was a resident of Woolwich and paratrooper who was killed in action in France on July 4, 1944.
