Ask Dottie if she remembers a green & yellow 49 Ford pickup truck that her parents had in 1959. It was my first vehicle. I sold it to her parents for $125 and bought a 54 Merc from Art Whitney.

Chauncey's grandfather was also named Chauncey. Chauncey's sister was named Helen, after her grandmother. Chauncey's father was a professor if engineering at MIT. The Red Pine Farm house was built in 1750 and had murals painted on the plaster walls.

The top picture is of Chauncey Perry and the next one below is his wife Nancy. I spent many evenings in the house depicted in these photos. These were not only neighbors but friends. I attended Northeastern University because Chauncey did and I was impressed with him, he was like an older brother.

Thanks, Dottie Perry provided more information. I have added the information to the photos. Those photos were taken in 1964, the fire photo was taken in 1969.

I'm wondering if the Perrys had photos of the murals in that house. I'd like to see them again.
