Malcolm Boyd:  

Life My parents are both gone now so I am officially an orphan. A difficult rite of passage. Have a son,Tennessee Boyd was born on the 31st of July, '07 with 7.5 lbs. He has reddish blond hair like his mother. All signs point to a healthy child and he and his mother are well. I am a coxwain for the Tuesday morning women's rowing team and still have my hand in construction work. With luck, I will be able to continue my life of adventure and travel albeit, with a bit more luggage and responsibility. I have been a volunteer fire fighter with the Tisbury Fire Department for about 12 years. I enjoy activities in the outdoors and have paddled a Kayak in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Maine, Massachusetts and Florida and camped in those places as well. I enjoy hunting (though don't enjoy killing). I enjoy cooking but Liz is taking over with my coaching. I was sent away for high school and dropped out in my senior year in 1969. I hitched around the country for about 6 months, stopping in Nova Scotia, went to the Woodstock Festival, Altamont Stones Concert and many others. Stayed in San Francisco for a couple of months trying to make sense out of life. It was a difficult time. After returning to Amityville around Christmas of '69, I worked at Kenmaze Advertising, printing silk screen images for a while till I was (easily) convinced to finish HS. I ended up graduating with my little sister, Allyson, in '71. After graduation, I rode around northern Europe for a month or two on a Triumph 500 and returned home ready for some wilderness escape. So, I left the ville to study at Franconia College. I have travelled a fair amount and have been to Europe where, most recently I visited Normandy to accompany my father in a sort of 60th anniversary of his landing there in July, 1944. We also visited St Lo, the site of a bloody battle which resulted in his being seriously wounded and put out of the war. We actually found the location of his position when hit. I have also travelled to Brazil often (learned to speak portuguese) where I had the opportunity to learn much about the culture and visit with brother George who lives in the state of Minas Gerais. He is a pianist and piano technician, perhaps the best in Brasil. School My Biggest crushes were for Beth Parry and Patty Gill, but they occured before I knew how to behave. Miss Saslo, Miss Lori, Mr Region were some of my most inspiration...Expand for more
