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
