SURPRISE! John Courtemanche, who turned 96 last May, was surprised and happy to learn that he was the oldest person in attendance at the annual Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Dinner held at Ultra Chic at the Hillview. Presenting him with a gift provided by Ultra Chic were Select Board Chair Liane Gonzalez, Sen. Bruce Tarr and Rep. Brad Jones. (Maureen Doherty Photo)
