Back when the Armory was open, and when Westover AFB was active.

There was a ton of manufacturing here until the late 60’s.

Nixon screwed us when Mass voted against him. Boy, some folks carry a grudge! Ha Ha.

There is a ton of education here, but those jobs are not really for the masses.

Out there you have the Connecticut River so I guess there was a lot of textiles and associated industry. And I think I recall my father telling me that the "sonic booms" were from Westover jets...

I think the mills were closing all over New England when I was a kid.
