Lionel J. Blanshay died at age 84 on August 13, 2024. During pivotal years in the early 2000s he served on the Atwater Library’s Board of Directors and was our star fundraiser. Following his retirement from the Board, he became an Honorary Advisor. Please click here for his obituary.

Marshall Wansbrough died at age 82 on March 3, 2020. He was a great supporter of the Atwater Library, with 17 years on the Board of Directors and two terms as president. He then served as an Honorary Board Advisor. At the time of his death, his vision for better use of the ground floor stacks (basement) was being realized as part of the elevator-accessibility project.

Phillip L. Chartrand died peacefully at age 87 on June 8, 2013. He served on the Atwater Library’s Board of Directors from the late 1980s until 2009 and after that, was an Honorary Advisor to the Board. He gave steadfast support during lean years when some people doubted the organization’s future viability.
