Although an avid history fanbeginning in the sixth grade, he credits his Brewsterteachers with igniting that passion.“It was Headmaster Richard Vaughan and hiswife Peg who kept me in school at Brewster andthose two I could never thank them enough forwhat they did. And, it was three history teachersand one English teacher who I still respect todayfor giving me the dream to go forward with myhistoric research and to know that I can do it.Those teachers are David Smith with his historyclasses (even though I hated Russian history!);Robert Richardson, with the knowledge that hehas and what he gave me on history he couldforget half of it and would still know more thanmost of us will ever know! Harry Widman, mylast history teacher, was a big influence in myhistory goals. Travis Ball, my English teacher,kept me positive and encouraged me to shootfor what I wanted. It has been 37 years sinceI left Brewster and now I really am living mydream. I am the town historian for Croydon,New Hampshire, as well as a genealogist. Mywife Betty and I have a store in Newport, NewHampshire, that is loaded with items from the1600s to the present. I have over 20,000 booksand hundreds of thousands of pieces of paperin my collection. From documents signed byThomas Jefferson and James Madison to picturesof Abraham Lincoln and more than 500 Civil Warletters and lots of Civil War artifacts, too.I would like to say thank you to David, Bob, Harry,and Travis … this is one sweet ride …”If you have a Recollection you would like to sharewith readers, please send it to Matt Hoopes atislesman@batelnet.net.
