I take it from your profile you are from the big apple? I have lots of friends down your way. You'll have to come for a visit during the summer months.I'm originally from Nashua, New Hampshire, born into a Canuck family that emigrated from Quebec (the north coast of the Gaspe Peninsula) and settled in the mill towns of New England, from Maine to Rhode Island.
We may have more in common than we realize. My father's family migrated from France to Nova Scotia to Louisiana and then to Quebec over several centuries. Moved down into New Bedford, MA and then into Pawcatuck, CT. Met my mom in Westerly, RI and settled there. I'm born and raised in little Rhody. Terribly liberal these days, but we do have large pockets of conservatives on the rise!!
Feel free to remind me this summer! We'll make arrangements. August would be good! My summer class will be over and ordination to the Diaconate only 2 months away! I'll have some free time then!
