History, unrushed

To the editor: I want to thank Mark from the Warwick Historical Society for generously giving his time and for his patience and knowledge. I met him on a Saturday when my children, my mom and I decided to visit the Old School Baptist Meeting House but found the doors locked. Mark happened to be on the grounds preparing for the Under the Tent Party. When I explained that my mom was visiting us and had never seen the church, he offered to meet us the next morning to let us in. The next morning at 11, Mark met us in the rain and not only let us in, but gave us a personal, guided tour. Needless to say, we were thrilled. At one point, when I tried to hurry our little group along to not take up too much of Mark’s time, he told us to take our time, that it was his pleasure. Mark genuinely cared and gave up part of his Sunday morning so that we could appreciate this beautiful church. Many thanks. Silvia Farinella Warwick
