February 17, 2012

Norman told the story of the time Life Magazine did a piece on his home town of Whitefield.

The reporters interviewed Mrs. Johnson, who’d lived in town all her life and could fill them in on highlights and history.

When the article came out, wa’n’t she hoppin’ mad.

“They called me Old Mrs. Johnson,” she said, indignant.

“I’m only 92.”

About Becky

Becky has lived all her life (so far) in New Hampshire. She has written several other popular books set in her home state, including "The Best Revenge," a collection of short stories that was named one of the five Essential New Hampshire Books by New Hampshire Magazine, and "Could Have Been Worse: True Stories, Embellishments and Outright Lies." However, she is probably best known for her live storytelling events, many sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
