    1. [SISSON-L] George Sisson - Portsmouth, RI
    2. Hi David and list, A friend in Middletown, RI mailed me a clipping from the Providence Journal, April 25, 2003 with a great article on a current George Sisson, age 84, formerly of Portsmouth, RI, and living in Bristol since 1963. He is quite a dynamic individual and I was wondering how his line might be connected to my husband's Sissons, also originally from Portsmouth, RI. He brought Cable TV to RI; has just recently been awarded the annual service award from the state Historical Preservation ands Heritage Commission; helped create Colt State Park and the East Bay Bike Path, saved Coggeshall Farm (Revolutionary War era), now a living farm museum; helped to restore the Bristol Co. Statehouse; protected the environment as a member of the Coastal Management Council. His grandfathers owned working farms in Portsmouth. After serving in W.W.II he started a radio WALE, a radio station in Fall River, Mass. and then moved on to TV with WTEV in New Bedford. He currently hosts a public access TV show called East Bay Press Conference. Of course, being a SISSON in RI, he must be in someone's line that subscribes to this list and possibly from Richard and Mary of Portsmouth, RI. Thanks for any clues. Regards, Joan Joan L. Fitzsimmons Richard&Mary 1; George 2; Richard 3; George 4; Peleg 5; Richard 6; James 7; George 8; Charles H. 9; Warren R. 10; Natalie R. 11; Michael K. 12 [and me - Joan (Lacy)]
