Short Stories
The stories on this page are a tribute to the amazing lives of the residents of Orchard Cove and New Bridge on the Charles and others.
Everyone has a story that is particularly important to each person. It might be a story about a specific event, a certain time period, an interaction with someone that changed their life forever or a story that they have written. These stories are often deeply personal and can shape a person's identity, beliefs, and values. They can be life lessons, full of joy or sadness or wisdom, an event or encounter that you will remember forever, something you would like your grandchildren to know. It is your story.
