New England Vignettes From a Busy Human World
John Sayers Hinsley in Hartford aids patients as a secretary while a working wife at home iron shines and she reads. Gloria, a nursing graduate who became blind, trains at St Paul’s Rehabilitation Center Newton learning typing and business skills before family life. George Munger, a railroad engineer, loses nothing but later finds 32 freight cars. Leroy Wilber rises from selling grinders to running a hardware firm, logging an estimated 150000 miles walked in 57 years. The Maine lumber nostalgia notes a $500 start turned to a 50 000 dollar sawmill. The John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co prepares to mark its 100th anniversary with $62 billion in assets and $27 billion in insurance.
