New Format and clues for Native Son #5, Bernard Doyle

Native Son #5, Bernard Doyle
Planted by Deanne & David Besnia in Leominster MA (Worcester County) in Pierce Park.
 
This letterbox is extremely easy to find. To get to Pierce Park take Merriam Avenue out of Leominster center.  Head west until you come to the second set of traffic lights (about a 5-minute drive). At the second set of lights take a right onto Lindell Avenue (you will see a sign for Pierce Park on the corner of Lindell and Merriam Avenues). Enter Pierce Park through the cement columns on the left. Stop at the official Trustees of Reservations sign and look for the tallest manmade structure in the park. Walk around the structure and look for a flagstone at the base (hopefully somewhat concealed by leaves).  Lift the flagstone and find Native Son #5, Bernard Doyle, a plastics pioneer and generous benefactor to the City of Leominster.  There is a small prize in the box for the first several people who find it.
