Neighbors and fellow Red Cross volunteers surrounded Mrs. Nobel K. Peterson as Gregg Sanborn, executive director of the UNH Alumni Association; Dick Houghton, president of the Durham Business Association; and Doug Wheeler, UNH professor emeritus of history; presented her with a UNH captain’s chair on behalf of UNH and the town of Durham for her many years of service as head of the Durham chapter of the American Red Cross. Sanborn read a letter from Durham Town Administrator Todd Selig, who was unable to be at the presentation. The wooden chair with arms will aid in her recovery from hip surgery. “The Durham/UNH community is a wonderful place to live and I feel quite honored that you all did this,” she said.
