Situated on the western border of New Hampshire, Hanover is about 135 miles northwest of Boston (a little more than two hours by car) and three hours south of Montreal. Home of Dartmouth College, founded in 1767, Hanover offers good restaurants, a well-stocked bookstore, and a very good supermarket. Dartmouth College offers a championship golf course, lots of tennis courts, the Hood Museum of Art, and a steady stream of films, concerts, lectures, and performances at Hopkins Center. Nearby are charming New England towns such as Norwich (right across the river) and Lyme (10 miles north), with its own village green, plus ample opportunities for skiing in the winter (the Dartmouth skiway is a 25-minute drive) and--in the warmer months--hiking, swimming, and boating on the Connecticut River as well as nearby lakes. Something about ourselves

Nancy and I are both writers. I grew up in Boston and she grew up in West Virginia, but we have both lived in New England for most of our lives. Besides teaching college-level English from time to time, she has co-authored two published books and single-handedly written a novel (so far unpublished). After teaching English at Dartmouth for almost forty years and publishing several books, I retired in 2004 and have since then been working on a big book about literature and some other projects (including lectures for the Teaching Company) as well as travelling, lecturing, and keeping up with our two children and four grandchildren in Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
