<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>HI, Y'all, I'm the Linda grandmother (aka
Nana), and I migrated to RI when I married, partly to stop being 4th generation
in my family to live in my small town of WSpfld, Mass. My remaining
sibling Nancy recently moved to SC to get away from VT winters. I'm about
1/2 of English descent and about 1/2 French-Canadian. I have 3 great sons
in their 30's and 2 grandchildren, almost 6 and 22 months, who are superb.
I have a BA from Mount Holyoke in biology, but I am an artist, sing in a chorus,
help with the Friends of the Library, and help my husband the mechanic with his
Scouts, where he has been Scoutmaster for about 20 years. My backyard
flowers are wonderful at this time of the year, and we have a number
of outdoor pets, as well as an ancient dog and several cats. Currently,
the family project is turning the center of our new lollipop driveway into
Adventure Island for the grandkids--it has a fire pit and picnic table, and
hopes to get a treehouse, rope swings, and ladders, etc. if a lot of us
work on it and remove any remaining poison ivy. I've known Judith for a
long time, and we met when she was leading a folkdance group. She is an
amazing person who should toot her own horn to the rest of you. So,
are we typical New Englanders?? Yup! and Nope!
Both!</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
