Atherton Train Station Clock
The Atherton Train Station Clock was installed in May 1993. Our late Atherton resident, Bob Simonds, used an old Toledo scale for the clock body, had the clock faces custom made, and installed the clockworks. In February 2004 he passed away and the care and maintenance were assumed by Sandy Crittenden and former resident, Shirley Carlsen.
Atherton is asking for interested residents to be part of the Atherton Train Station Clock Committee, The duties will be to learn about the workings of the clock, maintenance, and care of the clock tower, and keeping the clock working and on time. Also, working on improvements and reliability of the clockworks and the clock body are some of our goals.
The time commitment for committee members is minimal but you are asked to be available for regular maintenance and repairs when needed. You must be able to climb a ladder and have knowledge and use of regular hand tools.
If you are interested contact Sandy Crittenden at hcrit3@gmail or catch her around Town.
