YANKEE BOYHOOD

I was born in Windsor,Vermont, in the Windsor Hospital, which is now a sort of old-age/nursing/maybe retirement home and so to look for any records of me there would be a waste if time. My days in Windsor as a baby and child were few as my parents moved across the Connecticut River to Claremont, so that I have often wondered what my life would have been like had I been born in Claremont,"The Heart of the Twin-State Valley' and left from there to Windsor. I attended schools in Claremont and occasionally in Cornish, New Hampshire, and graduated from both CLAREMONT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL(once part of the Stevens High School Building) and STEVENS HIGH SCHOOL I graduated in 1954 and have much to say about all this,of course, but those tales shall have wait. In Windsor, I believe we lived on River Street and then we moved to Kenyon St. in Claremont, where my father, and with help from my grandfather(his father)built a house which was not quite directly across from the house my grandparents owned there.
