Now retired Gilbert Orr of Pawtuxet has time to pick up trash on his walks with his wife and his rescue dog Molly on the trails near Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. He figures it’s his good deed for the environment. He wouldn’t have given a small bottle he retrieved from the banks of the Pawtuxet River much thought until he noticed a note was squeezed inside. Bottles with notes are no stranger to Orr. In 1979 he found one on the banks of the Mississippi. The note was written by a 20-year old girl who said she was moving to Oklahoma and was saying good bye to the river.  The note recovered from the Pawtuxet is dated Aug. 31 2006 and is written by Cheyenne who writes she did it as something “fun to do” over school vacation. The note has a drawing of a smiling horse and the information the bottle was tossed in the river in Scituate. And just to be clear, she added in big letters, USA.  Orr holds the note. The bottle is perched on his knee. (Warwick Beacon photo)
