I have begun to create 3D panoramas of a number of the points of interest around the Lake and on a recent hike, and with Sept 11 approaching, I decided to capture one at the Judith Larocque Memorial:
On the west side of Lake Cochituate’s North Pond, a nipple of town land juts out into the lake that can be reached by following Snake Brook Trail off Commonwealth Road. A memorial bench made of split logs to which a bronze plaque is attached was placed on top of the hill by the daughters of Judy Larocque, a Wayland High School graduate who was killed when American Airlines Flight 11 hit the World Trade Center.
‘Wayland A-Z’: ‘M’ is for ‘Memorials and Markers’ – Wayland, MA – Wicked Local Wayland
You can imagine my surprise when there was no bench to be found and no evidence of it’s existence remains.
I was unable to find a picture of it online and will look through my files for ones that I took a few years ago.
If anyone knows what happened please contact me. It would be tragic if the bench was carried off by the kids who frequent and party there.
