Railroad buffs Paul Kenworthy, Jack Klecker, Laura Eisener and possibly others will share their interest in trains. Steve Carlson has shared some of his research on the “Saugus Branch” Railroad, which served our community for 100 years and which inspired Elliott Paul’s 1912 book “Linden on the Saugus Branch,” an account of his “boyhood in a New England Town.” The event takes place at 7 p.m. at 30 Main St. in Saugus, the home of the Saugus Historical Society and the Saugus Cable TV station. New town residents and any railroad enthusiasts are especially welcome this month, and the meeting is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. For more information contact Saugus Historical Society President Laura Eisener at 781-231-5988. A sad “Shout Out” to the late Kathy Perkins Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo offered what she called “a sad ‘Shout Out’” on the passing of a beloved Saugus school nurse who died on Oct. 14. “A sad ‘Shout Out’ on the passing of legendary Kathy Perkins, retired Belmonte Middle School Nurse,” Jeanie wrote. “I had the honor of volunteering in the nursing office with Kathy for 13 years.
