This year, Warwick, Rhode Island's 35th Annual Gaspee Days Parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 10, 2000. Gaspee Days is a BIG DEAL in Rhode Island! Anyone named Bucklin or married to one is the subject of interest of this year's Gaspee Parade Chairman, the Gaspee Days President, and the the Mayor of Warwick (a former Gaspee Days Committee president). John Concannon (jconcannon@home.com), the webmaster of www.gaspee.com, contacted the Whipple Website and the Bucklin web site in late February, because Captain Abraham Whipple lead the attack; and Joseph Bucklin fired the shot that wounded William Dudingston, the captain of the Gaspee ------ Concannon invites Whipples and Bucklins to participate in this year's parade. John writes that the committee is unanimously in favor of inviting both the Whipples and Bucklins to the Gaspee Parade this year. His note makes the following points:
It isn't clear from the note exactly how many Whipples and Bucklins are wanted for the float but we probably need several persons (and probably could put both men and women o the float.
