My grandfather Glenn Rublee(b. 1897 Berkshire, VT)always said he played for the Boston Red Sox for a season, but we have never been able to turn up any documentation on that.

Hi: My grandmother was born in North Charlestown, N.H. for the same reason but in the other direction. Her mother lived in Cavendish at the time. I have to go back a ways to find an ancestor outside of Vermont. Grammie Martin never lived in any other state until they moved to Florida to retire. And many of us kind of liked it that Fisk didn't "claim" his birthplace. We were the Springfield Cosmos, and the Bellows Falls Terriers were *THE* ENEMY. But he was born in Vermont, can't change that. He should at least be mentioned. ;) Darrell *************************************** List Guidelines: http://home.sprynet.com/~darrellm/list_rules.htm Visit the Gateway to Vermont Web Site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vermont/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to VERMONT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
