May We Introduce ....
Author: MT43 News Staff Reporter
If you are new to Townsend you might have wondered about a flamboyant and patriotic rig that frequents our downtown streets. As you might gather from the tractor, long-time resident Roland Heaton is a retired US Veteran.
Nowadays, Roland is most fre¬quently seen at the Bird's Nest where he's responsible for much of the construction and maintenance of the building. But a great deal of his time is also spent throughout our community.
Roland is an active member of American Legion Post 42 and is frequently involved with funeral flag details, retiring of aged flags, and other Post activities. He also spends a great deal of time volunteering at both Helping Hands locations and our local Food Pantry. And he cooks a mean barbecue!
Thank you Roland for being an inspiration, comfort, support, and friend to so many and our community!
If you see Roland and his rig downtown, stop by and introduce yourself!
