Southborough - Story Musgrave has never followed a traditional path. He attended St. Mark's School where his innate desire to explore different places and his passion to seek adventure might have seemed at odds with the expectations of the prestigious school. Because he felt more inclined to experience life rather than read about it in books, and because at the all-boy-school he missed seeing women, children, and families, he left prior to graduation. According to Musgrave, "Not graduating was the right thing to do. I just walked away. I departed."

Southborough - Although the cows have not yet graced the rolling hills and the grass is yet to turn a lush green, the Breakneck Hill Conservation Land on Breakneck Hill Road has much to offer.

Southborough - For Al and Ingamae (Inky) Jones, life together is precious and sweet, their playful bantering and obvious affection a testimony to the blessing they find in one another. The pair, 86 and 84 respectively, met at the Southborough Senior Center, 9 Cordaville Rd., in the fall of 2001. Inky, a retired gym teacher, was an active member of the Senior Center, taking fitness classes, tai chi, line dancing and even belly dancing. When she heard that a singing group would be started at the center, she immediately signed up. Al, who continues to participate in the Tuesday cribbage group, had heard about the Southborough Senior Singers as well and promptly joined. While the Southborough Senior Singers made beautiful music together so, too, did Al and Inky.
