Pratt's Pond was my father's favorite fishing spot in the 1940s. We fished it on a weekly basis. I (and many others) took New Ipswich for granted while we lived there. I think it is more appreciated by those who have left it and are looking back, then those who never left. I suspect newcomers have a greater appreciation because they know what it's like beyond the 'valley'.
Poor Hamish's head!
