But I moved to Boston in 1976 and have lived there ever since, except for a couple of short stints elsewhere. I always come back to Boston. But my father is a native Bostonian, as was his father, so I figure that counts in my genetic makeup as a "real" New Englander.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, Welcome Kate!margalithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09782326504951603071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272050448549694245.post-47673807577750411872007-10-11T23:43:00.000-04:002007-10-11T23:43:00.000-04:00Don't worry Kate!
