CONWAY — On a beautiful, blue-skied day eerily reminiscent of that horrible September day 23 years ago, local citizens and dignitaries gathered in North Conway’s Schouler Park Wednesday morning to mark the anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Emceeing was Army veteran/state Rep Steve Woodcock (D-Conway) of American Legion Post 95.
