It was found thrown in the bushes by a resident while out for a walk. I will rehide in another location soon.</ul></strong> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><strong>Background</strong>: <br /> <br />This letterbox celebrates the volunteer firemen who daily risk their lives in service to their communities for little or no compensation. These unsung heroes are a vital part of any community and deserve the respect and gratitude of each of us. <br /> <br />This letterbox is dedicated to our own personal hero, our son, Matt Pepe, who serves as an officer and firefighter for the South Kensington Fire Department in Berlin. His selfless sense of duty to firefighting and the community at large continually makes us so proud. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><strong>Clues</strong>: <br /> <br /> <br />Find the gazebo on Farmington Avenue and discreetly look under the foundation. <br /> <br /> <br /><strong>Please note</strong>: This is an extremely busy place so try your best to be discreet in both searching and rehiding this box. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Have fun and just get out there & box!!! <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6778318-108198530200422012?l=unsungheroes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mark and Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11467187163158222881noreply@blogger.com
