"He was justice of the peace, he was a lister, auditor, selectman for, jesus, 30 years almost ... We did auctions, we went to Boston buying stuff, New Hampshire, Waltham went on buying trips and stuff. That was always interesting, ‘cause you never knew what you were going to get or what you bought. So that was fun. We had a lot of good times together." "
