Feb 2nd Buddy Fife Book Signing

Picture
On February 2nd at 10:30am, local author Buddy Fife will be at Chesley Memorial Library to talk about his book "Growing Up A Country Boy.

Lynwood "Buddy" Fife was born  in Deerfield, NH in 1937. It was a time much different than today. Life was simple on the farm, you ate well, you played after your chores were done...

The turn-out for Buddy Fife's book signing on Saturday Feb 2nd was a huge success. Numerous friends, family and library patrons all attended. Lively conversations reminiscing about local happenings were shared as books were signed by the author.
