Oct 22-Manchester, NH

After sleeping in and restocking the rig with food (Gene ate everything in sight while I was gone), we headed up to Manchester. I wanted to see the cannonballs at Stark Park that my Dad told me about. Evidently when he was a frat boy at the University of New Hampshire, he stole a ball--and rolled it down the hill. Naughty. I don't know the whole story, but he showed them to me when we were in the east with the kids. Saw the park, the statue of Gen. John Stark, the cannonballs, the house Marie and Grampa Steele lived in, and the Steele Market (now Maple Steet Market). Met the lady that lives in the house and she gave me the labels off a broken record she found in the basement. One is off a recording of Grampa Steele on the radio entitled "The Christian Science Program". The other is Lillian Steele! They are dated 1944. Too bad the record had been broken, but the labels are interesting too. Drove up to see the University of New Hampshire. It's beautiful, small....even looks a bit like WSU only not as hilly. Much greener but the buildings and bell tower reminded us of the Coug campus.
