Boston Post Cane Presentation

Goldie Goslin became the 34th recipient of the Farmington Boston Post Cane on February 9, 2018.

An official ceremony was held on April 13, 2018 in the Selectmen’s Chambers. In attendance were her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and extended family. Lots of pictures were taken. It was a family reunion! Town Officials, representatives of the Police and Fire Departments and Town Offices were also in attendance. Town Administrator Arthur Capello presented Goldie with a replica of the Boston Post Cane inscribed with her name and date of initiation.

Goldie was born on November 26, 1919 and according to her daughter it was somewhere in Northern Maine in a place they called Frenchville. We now know it as Ashland Maine. Goldie and her husband Victor moved to their home in Farmington over 70 years ago. They had seven children. Sadly Goldie lost one of her children, a son, early in his life and Victor died in 1989. She worked in local shoe shops but her main focus in life was raising her family. To this day Goldie still lives in the same house.

Congratulations to Goldie!
