From The Telegraph files While this photo is relatively recent in the context of historic Nashua area images, it will likely jog a few memories among longtime Milford area residents, some of whom may even have been among the many folks who turned out to watch the 1986 version of Milford's famous Labor Day Parade. If the two men waving to the crowd from their perch atop the back seats of this vintage 1965-66 Ford convertible look familiar, it's because they were among the state's most recognized politicians at the time – U.S. Rep. Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, left, and Gov. John H. Sununu, whose son Chris currently occupies the corner office at the State House. The driver is the late longtime Milford town and school district moderator Bob Philbrick, while the man in the front passenger seat is the late Andrew Rothovius, a lifelong fixture in town who was known as "the Sage of Milford." The identity of the other man in the car is unknown. According to signs on the car, Gregg, Sununu and Rothovius were judges that day, but what they were called upon to judge isn't known.
