“The bond begins before birth and, with the body and eye contact of parents and newborn, the baby’s first smile fills the parents’ hearts. The love seems more than any love before it, but there is no sound or sight in life as wonderful and heart warming to hear and see as the sincere laugh of a small child. It is the baby’s laughter, flowing from the child’s whole being, that holds people, families, and communities together.”

-Prof. Gary Mitchell

About the Author

John D. Mitchell was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1917. He resided in Keene, New Hampshire from 1920 to 1944, before moving to the nearby town of Marlborough with his wife Pauline and, at the time, four sons. Another son was born in 1956. Prior to moving back to his hometown of Keene in 2015, John was the oldest man in Marlborough. He was happily married to Pauline for seventy-seven years, and had five sons, ten grandchildren (the youngest of whom edited this volume), ten great-grandchildren, and two great-great-granddaughters.
Pauline passed away at the age of ninety-six on July 1st, 2015. John’s death soon followed on the 19th (at the age of ninety-seven). Just one week prior to his passing, John had completed the author’s note at the beginning of this text. Shortly after his death, his final revisions were incorporated into “Growing Up in Keene, New Hampshire” by his grandson and editor, Sam.

14. The Toadstool Bookshop in Keene, New Hampshire

Our favorite place to send our books for sale is to the Toadstool Bookshop in our own Keene, New Hampshire located at: 12 Emerald Street, Keene, NH 03431. It is our favorite because it is at the Toadstool that most of our family and friends in Marlboro, Keene, and neighboring NH towns acquire our books. We deal directly with Don Luckam the Toadstool manager (Incidently, there are two other Toadstools in NH, one in Peterborough and one in Milford, but, so far, we have sold only in our own Keene shop).
