music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

Annie Robinson, author of Peabody and Stearns: Country Houses and Seaside Cottages



This illustrated lecture will feature a discussion of the resort architecture of Peabody and Stearns, as well as sketches, plans and photographs by members of the firm and their contemporaries. Peabody and Stearns was a major contributor to the architectural fabric of Newport during the Gilded Age. Their summer cottages here and throughout the U.S. are the focus of a new book published in 2010 by W.W. Norton. Among their approximately 20 Newport projects were The Breakers of 1877 (destroyed by fire in 1892) for Pierre Lorillard, Beechbound, and Rough Point.
