Phyllis A. Dupere, local historian and retired high school teacher, takes delight in learning new things. Through a myriad of photographs and brief commentaries, the author offers readers an opportunity to reflect on how these brief moments in time affected the town, their families, and themselves in this constantly changing world. Never letting go of her calling to be an educator, Ms. Dupere has previously authored a book about Seekonk, Massachusetts, wrote an appendix article on Native American-based recipes for the modern cook in another book, and is currently seeking similar photographs from surrounding communities for future Through Time books.
