I know that there are two Armed Guard Veterans Association "crews" that meet in Providence, RI, and Albany, NY. Holyoke appears to be just about equidistant from both of those cities, about 85 miles in each case. Maybe someone from one of those groups would be willing to make the trip. Of course all of these fine men are getting on in years and 85 miles may be a bit far. Here is contact information for each, respectively.

Failing the above, you may wish to contact the national chairman of the Armed Guard Veterans Association, who has a mailing list of individual veterans, some of whom may be even closer.
