Michael I spent much time at the Nereledge Inn, weekends and vacation, 1975-2017. I remember your parents Jan and Bob Greene very well. What you say is true about folks these days wanting private this and that, and don’t want to share, pity. Somehow something is lost from the common experience, and folks become increasingly isolated. I remember the Gormleys well, Steve and Marty, their sons Jonathan and Curt. The MWV, unfortunately, has become more like a suburb of Boston. Pity. Gone are family restaurants like Faye’s, small Mom and Pop stores like Robertson, family oriented stores like Carroll Reed, Otto Winnow Music, mills like Yield House (where I worked for a time in the early 1970’s). Progress? It all could have been planned out MUCH better (the bypass fiasco) to preserve a more residential family small town atmosphere.
