Nate was a wonderful man who made everyone laugh. My fondest memory of him is when he set the fire alarm off at Nauset (EVERY TIME he made breakfast). Nate will be missed by all who were privileged to know him.

I knew Nate in the late '70s/early '80s when we served on a regional commission in Arlington, VT. He was a knowledgeable, articulate, and committed member whose expertise was respected and relied on. He certainly has made an impact on many lives. God bless him.
