President of Historic Deerfield

• My favorite things to do include:
  Trips with my family; fishing and skiing when I can; going to auctions; working on old buildings; staying out of trouble, mostly
• I was born and raised:
  Near Hanover, New Hampshire, in the upper Connecticut River Valley, and still spend as much time as possible “up country.”
• I currently live:
  Splitting my time between Old Deerfield and Norwich, Vermont
• How I earn my bread and butter:
  As Historic Deerfield’s President. I was the museum’s chief curator for several years. Does that mean that spreadsheets and personnel issues are more fun than Deerfield’s great collections of antiques and art?!
• Five things I love about the Deerfield and Pioneer Valley area:
  The Deerfield River; the early history of western Massachusetts; the center villages in the hill towns; my neighbors who work with and care about the great natural environment around us; fresh sweet corn.
• My favorite local hidden treasure you shouldn’t miss:
  Memorial Hall Museum in Deerfield
• My perfect day spent in the Deerfield and Pioneer Valley area:
  Breakfast at the Four Leaf Clover in Bernardston; fishing along the Vermont border; going to an auction; lunch at Green Fields Market in Greenfield; poking around the museum houses at Historic Deerfield; going for a long walk in the Deerfield meadows; enjoying dinner at the Deerfield Inn—honest!
