Comments:

I recently bought an old house here in Duxbury, a town incorporated 1637 and just north of Plimouth where the Pilgrims first settled. My house dates from 1764 and was built by Captain Wait Wadsworth who became a captain in the Revolutionary War.

I am now involved in (observing, consulting and paying for) extensive renovations. Two days ago, my contractor found that half of the house does not have a foundation and rests on wood planks about 1 to 3 inches above the dirt. So next week, the house will be lifted up onto steel planks and moved off its location so that dirt can be dug out and a 4 foot foundation can be poured. We will also construct a new addition and a garage attached to the back and side of the original house.

You can correctly predict that I will be improvished by the time of the reunion.

School Story:

University of Illinois, BA, 1967.
Northwestern University, BS, 1984.
University of Texas at Austin, MS, 1989.
University of Texas at Austin, PhD, 1995.

I knew Mary Jane since kindergarden at Lincoln School. She was fun and a good friend.

Tony and I were classmates from 5th grade to graduation. I once asked him to a dance. His mother and Tony picked me up and my dad drove us home. Later, I think it happened on the Coolidge lawn, I dramatically stapped him across the face (can't remember why and I'm think I was in my dramatic mode: I had seen a leading lady in a movie do that!) Later, much later, at a reunion, Tony remembered me and the slap!

I went to Lincoln School with Stuart Mott until 5th grade. He always remembered me at the class reunions. He was a larger than life guy! I recall that his mom drove a big van (and this was the fifties!). I guess she needed a big car for all Stuart's brothers and sisters!

Eric's father was the pastor of our Lutheran Church (Trinity). I remember he was the lead in Taming of the Shrew in (I think) our senior year. He was a good guy. l missed him at the 60th reunion.

My mailbox is on the right. My nice neighbor dug out the boxes and area in front so postman can get to the boxes.

My little dogs, Frances and Zoe, like snow when they can walk on top of it. When the snow is light and dry, they sink.

I bought this cute little house. It was a mess inside. The 1950s addition to the back of the old house is unsightly and very poorly built. The addition has to go.

My 9-year-old grandson Brewster loves the teardown and the mess.

Bull dozing the 1950s additon.
