I am a retired college dean and a 10th generation American. My 7th great grandfather arrived in New England in May 1630 and was a founder of three towns: Dorchester, MA; Windsor, CT; and Westfield, MA. Consequently, I have many family relations scattered (and buried) around the country. I lived in the very eastern part of New York, in a couple of the Hudson River towns, before moving to Mérida, Mexico. Now my wife and I spend winters in the Yucatan and summers in Provence, France.
