IN MEMORIAM
ALAN F. PERRIN OCTOBER 8, 1942-DECEMBER 3, 1989
Flags flew at half mast in 1989 for the town's top appointed official.
Alan F. Perrin, who died of a heart attack at the age of 47, had worked for 22
months as town executive, the first to hold that position, which was created
when voters enacted the Orleans charter in 1987.
Arriving on the scene in early 1988, Mr. Perrin brought with him a loving family,
a lot of energy and administrative abilities that won him high praise from the
selectmen and others.
He had his critics and he had his admirers.But inthe end,those who were close
to the man were devastated by his death. Those who only knew of him were
shocked.And those who worked with him were touched by a sense of profound
loss, personally and for the town as a whole.
Alan Perrin the proud,hard-working family man will be missed,and Alan Perrin
the confident administrative leaderwill long be remembered for his workforthe
Town of Orleans.

TOWN CLERK
Fiscal year 1989 was a busy year in the Town Clerk's office
with the May Annual Town Meeting and Election,a Special
Town Meeting in June and Oct. and another Special Elec-
tion in Oct.
With the Charter being in effect for a year the Secretaries
of the Boards and Commissions have adapted to filing their
monthly minutes and decisions in this Office, for which I
wish to thank them all for their cooperation.
With residents moving in and around Town we are con-
stantly updating our census records. The response to the
Annual Census has been greatly improved which is very
helpful for us in keeping our records up to date.
With the hard efforts of the Codification By-Law committee
we now have forthe first time a Code of the Town of Orleans
By-Law book which includes all the General and Zoning By-
Laws of the Town.We greatly appreciate the time and effort
this Committee put into this project.
This year for the very first time we had five of the Town's
oldest record books dating back to the early 1600's re-
stored and rebound. Hopefully in the near future we will be
able to have the remaining books also restored.
We have been most fortunate to have Virginia Murphy, a
resident of the Town,with us forthe 2nd yearas a volunteer,
assisting answering the telephone and helping all the other
Departments with filing etc. Her volunteerism is most
appreciated by all the Departments.
Respectfully submitted,
Jean F. Wilcox
