Eisenhower was in the White House when Tom Cummings first got a job with the Holbrook Public Works Department. He rose to become superintendent of public works, and retired at the end of June after 58 years. The town will honor him with a roast on Oct. 4 at St. Joseph School, 143 South Franklin St., Holbrook. The public is welcome. A social hour begins at 6 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $35 per person and are available at the offices of the town accountant, Public Works Department, and Council on Aging.
