I remember when …

“I remember when …” is a project to record an experience of long time Ashby resident’s youth in a short video.

The first interview is with Robert “Bob” Bedard. Bob’s father owned the Ashby Market in the 1950’s and he recalls working at the Market, going to Ashby School and life growing up here.
