I've been out of touch with Norwell, despite living there from 1940 to the early 1950s. I've always wondered about the circumstances under which my parents would have moved away from Braintree, just as WW2 was heating up.
The narrative at http://tinyurl.com/34hwamx explains a lot.
Norwell was "out there." We had a problematic well. Our phone number was "Hanover 176."
Names like Breezy Bend and Dead Man's Curve, Church Hill (fire company), Civil Defense and the Etrusco all have personal significance to me.
The trigger for this little adventure into the past was remembering the way that the volunteer firemen's graves in the Church Hill Cemetery, including my father's, are decorated on Memorial Day.
My mother sold the old house in 1957-58.
