    Maybe it was the fact that for the last few weeks I have been researching the history of the home in which I grew up and the one where my grandmother lived just around the corner,in Sutton Ma.It began with an old town map and I was off and running,discovering who built each home,and then finding as much as I could about those the people who lived,worked,and died there in the last hundred yrs plus before my family came along.
    I have discovered much and been brought to tears a time or two at unbelievable coincidences or as I prefer to think of them,as the hand of God in my life extending through time even to the home(s) where I lived.
    So it is with this mind set that I began to read A Promise Kept the story of the Poore family farm in NH. I was probably into the second page when I began to sob. I was so touched-first at the thought of a home where time stood still,I have been privilaged to witness that a time or two in my life,once when my parents purchased my childhood home and once a few years ago when my husband and I stumbled upon a house for sale in York ME.
    It IS a privilage. To be somehow allowed entrance into someone else’s life,into another time and place. It was a joy to read about Kenneth and his ‘hope’ of preserving the farm. I choose to see God’s hand once again in bringing Mark and Rick into Kenneth’s life (vice versa?).
    It was one of the best articles I’ve read in Yankee and I love this Mag. I can’t wait to come visit the farm,hopefully this summer. Thank you, Eileen Bouchard

    What a great article! Thank you, Joel Laino, for breathing life into a very worthy cause, and thanks to all the loyal volunteers who have worked so hard to preserve Kenneth’s vision of this homestead. I hope this brings visitors and donations enough to restore and protect this important piece of history forever.
