I'm happily married for many years. I am the father of two and the grandfather of three. I retired about two years ago from positions as a special education teacher's assistant and as a Court Investigator for the State of Massachusetts. I grew up in the Boston area and have always had a strong interest not only in local history, but history in general. This interest led me into researching my genealogy and I've been working on that for almost 30 years. My other interests include reading, photography and old television shows.
