I grew up in Newton but both my parents grew up in the slums of Southie in the 20's and 30's.Neither of them had the slightest accent and although neither of them could go to college (far too poor) my Dad rose to the top of a huge multinational and my Mom routinely did the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle in pen.
‘I grew up in Newton -—”
I raised my five in Newton-—lived there for 40 years.
