Carpenters' plaque at Nathan Hale?

[Benn]

I had heard from another Carpenters' fan, that there was a plaque dedicated to the Carpenters at Nathan Hale School in East Haven, Conn., ( a few blocks from 55 Hall Street where they grew up). I went there and asked at the school if there was such a plaque and could I see it, because I am fan of the Carpenters. No one at the school knew anything about a Carpenters' plaque, or any thing else dedicated to the Carpenters. I regret to say that East Haven has not done anything to remember the Carpenters, the way Downey and Long Beach, Calif have. If there is anyone out there, who knows about any plaque at Nathan Hale, or anything else for that matter please let me know. ;D Bennett

In June 1991 Richard went back to visit New Haven, Connecticut. At that point he (and Karen posthumously) were given Nathan Hale's "Hall Of Fame" award. I found this information on page 332 of the Ray Coleman book.
