Following
our
marriage
on
Oct
15,
1977,
Peg and I decided
to begin married life by renting an apartment, in order to “enjoy life”
as a
couple
before settling down and raising
children; since I was working at AO and Peg had a job in
Southbridge as
well, we decided to look in the area of our hometown. Pegs Dad noticed
an ad on
the AO bulletin board, advertising an apartment on Old Sturbridge Road
in
Sturbridge, just beyond the Big Bunny market.
We called and met with
the owners
(Duff and Alice Duchesneau). The apartment was beautiful, and we
immediately
agreed to rent it. It was on the second floor at 12 Old Sturbridge
Road, and
was ideal for us at that time. We became close to Duff and Alice, who
soon
seemed like our grandparents and took a special interest in us.
