  1. Are you an Avery? I graduated from Brewster Academy in 1950 and went to UNH. There was an upperclassman from Wolfeboro who gave several of us a ride home at Christmas. I think her name was Katherine Avery, and she would have been my age or a year or two older (I was born 1931). I remembered her father's name as Clifton Avery; I suppose he was actually Howard Avery. I thought he was a lawyer, and in any event he was trustee of a local trust fund and sent me a check for $200, that year and each year until I graduated. Is there any chance I have the right upperclassman and the right Wolfeboro businessman? Thank you -- Dan Ford

    1. Not an Avery, just someone who tries to reunite orphan heirlooms
