I WAS A NORTH SHORE KIND OF GUY

This is me at about the same age as the photo of John below.  However, it is about seven years earlier.  My father had just died and we were there from our home in northern Maine, with my sister, brother, cousin Nancy and...Charlotte...Don't ask.

This is Revere Beach.  My mother used to say I had a wiry build on the school reports.  I was actually a stick figure with big eyes.

Nancy, my sister Mary, then called Dolly most of the time, my mother, me and my brother Dick.
