266 Poverty Lane-Unit 2B We sold our home in town and moved a few miles away. It's been a wonderful change for us -- no yard work, snow removal! Now, when we get up on a Saturday morning, we can strap our kayaks on the car and head out to Grafton Pond with no worries or feelings of guilt... |

| Here's a poster I created about two years ago that combines an 'accidental' photo with a found passage written by A.J. Cronin, a writer I'd not heard of before. You can click on the image to download a PDF (about 1.3 MB) if you like, or you can click here for a lower resolution version (about 52KB). Do you know what the image is. If you'd like to know what it is, send me an email. |

Erik Rolf Olsen
Birthday: March 5, 1984 Erik graduated from Hyde School in Bath, Maine, on May 31, 2003. He's one heck of a musician. He plays trombone, guitar, drums — you name it, he can probably play it! He gave it a try at the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford (CT), but it wasn't right for him. He's an amazing person in so many other ways, and, sorry girls, he's in a relationship! |

Elissa Claire Olsen
Birthday: March 23, 1988 Elissa is on 'hiatus' from college and just moved to Burlington, Vermont, where she'll find a job and figure out what to do next. She plans to return to school to complete her degree. |
