Jean Parsons: Remembering my Father, J. T. Smith and Turtle Rock Farm
Thursday, July 20th 7:30 PM at the Bell School, 25 Drift Road This is a unique opportunity to hear Jean Parsons, a senior resident of Westport, recall the life of her father Julius T. Smith (known as J.T.) of Turtle Rock Farm on Pine Hill Road. J.T. became well known locally for his weekly essays in a Westport newspaper that recalled his life as a farm boy in the early 1900’s and his experiences as a market gardener. He had a deep interest in the natural environment, founding the Paskamansett Bird Club. Jean Parsons is a retired long-time fourth grade teacher in the Westport schools.
