Moore’s Rock is right behind the house where we used to live at the top of Sherman Street in the Harbor. At the suggestion of Bernard Coady, my barber for what little hair I had, we bought his mother’s house.

They have made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and if we are willing to listen, we can avoid a few of those missteps ourselves, no matter where we are in the process.
