Members of the Greene Bicentennial Committee, Selectman Barbara Bubier and interested townspeople gathered here at the town office Sunday afternoon to watch Committee Chairman Jim Weston bury a time capsule containing bicentennial souvenirs and other memorabilia from the August 1988 celebration. “It is the time to put the bicentennial to rest,” Weston said. “Lets take an opportunity to remember the good times.
