About the Authors
 Connie and Bill Warren are Portsmouth, NH residents. Connie grew up in the 1940s
and 50s in New Castle and attended Portsmouth schools. They met when Bill, born
in Macon, GA and educated in Australia, was a summer resident of North Hampton,
NH during the same era. As local historians they have gathered a large collection
of picture postcards, photographs, maps, and artifacts. Many of their items were
from the Sweetser collection and donated to the Special Collections Department
of the Diamond Library at the University of New Hampshire. They have loaned numerous
photographs and artifacts concerning William Lowell Hill, Interim Congressional
Medal of Honor recipient) to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard 1905 Russia-Japan Peace
Treaty Room and Museum. Their old photos and postcards have appeared in "The Seacoast
of New Hampshire," by Robert C. Gilmore and Bruce E. Ingmire, and in the Portsmouth
Herald. Their book is available from ARCADIA Publishing. |
