The Keeper of The Green

OK, so he's looking a bit "relaxed" in the snap, for those of you who don't know this man, this is Carl Golden Sr., the current "keeper of the green" here in Sharon. Carl is a hometown guy who retired from the Ct. State Highway a number of years back and became Ken Bartram's assistant and then assumed the job when Ken retired. Carl maintains the green, which stretches from Autosport south to Herrick Road. It also goes down West Main, Hospital Hill and a bit of New Street. In the summer, its mow, mow, mow. In the fall, its four-hundred zillion-billion leaves, and in the winter, it's keeping the sidewalks open and safe for foot traffic.

Carl is very dedicated to his job, does it without many thanks and does it well.
Ken trained Carl right! Thank you Carl!
