Free yourself! We were lied to. We were sold a narrative that after the facts came to light was, without little doubt remaining, complete fiction. I am referring to, of course, the break-up of the Beatles. Since I can remember, the break-up of the Beatles was attributed to the subversive efforts of John Lennon’s girlfriend, Yoko Ono.

Suffield History Tome Paints a Picture of Home
|
If every town has a story, then it stands to reason it must have a history. It is easy to dismiss the day-to-day happenings of a small town as inconsequential, but string those events together, and a picture develops of a place that people call home. Like all images, literal and figurative, that picture will be used by those in the future to imagine the past. That image of Suffield — a town that despite its quiet personality has a number of interesting, if not quirky, character traits — has been well documented in Suffield Stories from Another Half-Century, 1970-2020. The hardcover book, available for purchase locally, reflects the herculean effort by Suffield’s 350th Anniversary Committee, led by Observer Editor-in-Chief Beth Chafetz, to solicit, collect, edit and publish the Suffield stories from roughly 100 writers.
