Most Recent Recipient - Helen Schricker

On July 17, 2023 the Gilmanton Board of Selectmen, Chairman, Mark Warren, Vinnie Baiocchetti, and Evan Collins presented Helen Schricker with the Gilmanton Boston Post Cane as well as a replica for Helen and her family to keep.

Helen was born April 14, 1926 in Germany. She immigrated to the US from Germany after World War II where she met her husband, Earl. He was in the US Navy, and he has been dearly missed since his passing in 1995. They purchased their land in Gilmanton in the late 60’s, and their house in Gilmanton was built in the early 80’s. They moved from Manchester to their home here in Gilmanton, where they raised their daughter, Karen.
