My first car was a 1936 Chevrolet Master Deluxe. I grew up in a different day and a different time. My folks had a rule with us as children. “If you can buy it, you can have it.” I mowed lawns, sold seeds, raked, gardened and fed chickens and ducks for cash.

This place has all of the hurts with tears, the trust and confidence and the love of my family etched within the walls and doors. My first and only home located in a small town of New Hampshire.
