[0]I was born in Piermont, N.H. in 1922, attended Piermont Village Elementary School, Bradford Academy in Bradford, Vt. and Vermont Technical College in Randolph, Vt.I married the former Edna Hersey and we have four children, ten grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.
In 1957 the Elm Haven Farm barn burned and in 1958 the farm held a dispersal of the cattle and the farm closed. I was offered a position as Manager of Skyfield Farm in Groton, We were pleased to have our children able to attend school there as Dunstable was having problems finding schools for the 7th and 8th grade students due to increase in the population and crowding at the elementary level.
In 1963 Skyfield Farm sold out and we moved back to our home in Dunstable. At this time students from Dunstable were going to Groton so our children were able to continue their education there.
I went to work for Wang Lab as Manager of the Machine Shop and retired in 1986 after 21 years at Wang Lab.
Since retiring I have volunteered at various places - Nashua Senior Center, Apple Valley in Ayer and delivering Meals On Wheels in Dunstable.
I am a Charter member of the Dunstable Tyngsboro Lions Club, Dunstable Volunteer Fire fighters Assoc., Dunstable Grange. I have been a member of the Dunstable Senior Citizens Club since 1987 and president for five years. I am a member of the Council On Aging and have been Chairman for five years.
I enjoy gardening, bowling and golf.
