STONINGTON—Stonington lobsterman Peter Hutchinson has wanted to paint the trim on his house for the past three years, according to his friend Kate O’Neill. But he’d been awaiting major surgery and couldn’t do it himself. He did manage to put Christmas lights up every year to cheer people passing by on Burnt Cove Road, O’Neill said in an email.
Hutchinson finally underwent surgery and now can’t do most of the things he wants to do until he heals, O’Neill said, so she asked the Joshua Davis Lodge of the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) to help.
