Wayland Town Crier 1/28/18: Member of Wayland Board of Public Works remembered for his generosity. Prescott “Woody” Baston Jr. was always willing to lend a hand, whether helping a neighbor whose snowblower died in a storm or mowing the lawn at Wayland Depot. “Selfless is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of my father,” said his son, Scott. Baston, a 44-year resident of Wayland who was elected in 2015 to the Board of Public Works and was recently its chairman, died Jan. 11. He was 72.
