Life The folks moved from Mass to New Ipswich,NH in 1963 so I finished my junior & senior yrs at the local high school which was know as Appleton Academy,& I must say it was a great last 2 years of school,never thought I could enjoy school that much,believe it or not!! Got married in 1971 and have been married to the same fantastic beautiful lady for 37 years,we have 5 children 3 beautiful daughters 35,33,31,and the cabooses,twin boys who are 29 , also have 11 grandchildren 5 boys 6 girls. School Biggest crush?? Now that would be telling!! But in Mass she/they were 2 ,3 & 4 yrs older, crush infatuation call it what you want, In NH ,I dated them......well,most of them.
