Across the Country By Bike: Two Different Journeys

By John Walters on Friday, June 22, 2001.

In 1996, Peggy and Brian Goetz set out on a bicycle trip across the country. It was an accomplishment in itself, but it also re-created a trip, taken 40 years earlier, by a pair of young women, one of whom was Peggy?s mother, June Meyer. Peggy and Brian now live in Kingston, NH, and they?ve written a book about both journeys, ?The Adventure of Two Lifetimes,? published by Anacus Press.
Peggy and Brian have more information about their book on the web: www.theadventurebook.com

Teaching Art Behind the Prison Walls

By John Walters on Friday, June 22, 2001.

Sylvia Brofos lives in Contoocook, where she has an art studio, does watercolors, and also teaches. But once a week, she leads a unique group of students, at the state women?s prison in Goffstown. It began as a six-week program, but that was ten years ago, and she still finds women who want to participate. She talked about the program, the art her students produce, and what they gain from the experience.
