[edit] Cities

If anybody is interested. in 1962 as a young DJ/Chief Engineer of radio station WARE in Ware, Massachusetts, it was Richard B. Johnson who was almost fired for making the joke; "Governor Peabody was the first governor in the state to have four towns named after him. They are Endicot, Peabody, Marblehead, and Athol." Al Roberts was the station owner/manager at the time and he was furious because he helped on the Peabody campaign. Twenty or more years later, Howie Carr, a Boston radio personality took credit for the comment, but Johnson was out of the state and couldn't defend himself --or call him a descriptive name. Anyway, it's in the book, Abominable Firebug ISBN 0595386679 if anybody wants to add that reference.LymanSchool 19:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Facts

I don't think that FACTS should be changed because somebody didn't like them. At the time in question, there was a village called Endicott, [1] -- still is. Further, it was me that got into trouble for making that joke on the air at radio station WARE. LymanSchool 17:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] High school

The article William Penn Charter School claims Endicott Peabody as an alumnus. I'll leave it to the more regular editors to fit such info into the article, since I should really be eating breakfast and going to work right now. Here is a link to the reference, which should be included as a book: [2] --Bossi (talkgallerycontrib) 11:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
