The not-too-bright minions of the Town Hall were advised ages ago on Twitter by me about this missing September 14th poetry plaque and the need to replace it after it was lost during a storm that took out a pole .. and that it STILL needs to be replaced... so in case you ever wondered why their missing plaque is in the sequence its lost... which is unfortunate and disrespectful of Douglas Lochhead's memory .. that is the ongoing and confounding mystery solved.. the incomplete collection of poetry plaques by WW2 veteran, first Poet Laureate of Sackville N.B. Mr. Douglas Lochhead's "Poetry on the Poles" September 1 to September 30 ... displayed along the poles of Main Street Sackville New Brunswick.

And as more disappears here sometimes it seems like a good idea to document the losses here for my readers .. to remember what has been before.
