And how about Ernie Johnson, one of my Dad's friends, worked with Dad at A. G. Spaulding in Brattleboro. Think he was first with the Red Sox, then traded to Washington? Not sure of the teams as I didn't follow baseball. Neysa ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell A.

No mention of Carlton Fisk, born 26 Dec 1947 in Bellows Falls, Rockingham Town, Windham County, Vermont?!? All he has on his resume is Rookie of the Year 1972, 11 All-Star appearances, and membership in the Hall of Fame. In 1999, he was selected as a finalist for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team, and finished third in the balloting. AND his first 9 years were with New England's beloved Red Sox. You have got to be kidding!

I grew up and went through all 13 years of kindergarten/school with Carlton Fisk in Charlestown, NH - right across the river from Bellows Falls. There has always been much emphasis on the fact that he was born in Vermont, but that's where it ended. He is a pure New Hampshire boy and its pride and joy, especially in Charlestown.  Besides, Rockingham Memorial Hospital was a tad closer than any other hospitals in the area in 1947.  ;) Just an fyi.
