Missiles On Oxbow: The Nike Missile Site in Wayland
My name is Bob Farrington but I am more easily recognized in Wayland as Mr. Molly Faulkner. Molly and I live on Bennett Road.
I am a retired commercial real estate, finance and business lawyer. I grew up in Wayland on Dean Road in Damon Farms. I have no credentials other than a lifelong interest in world and military history and weaponry. I am, yes, a geek.
Early last fall my wife, your esteemed President Molly Faulkner, “suggested” that to keep me from driving her crazy after my retirement, I should take a look at Wayland’s very own missile base. She surmised that when I moved to Wayland in 1959 as an 8 year old, I was appointed as the Loker School liaison with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Strategic Air Command.
Alas, the highest rank I have ever held was Second Class Scout in Troop 1 Cochituate. And I was a Second Class Boy Scout in every sense of the word.
