Seth and Ellen Goodhue were our neighbors across the street on Indian Brook Rd. from as early as I can remember in my childhood until I left for graduate school. Their faces and smiles and voices are so much a part of the fabric of my childhood that it is hard to imagine one or both of them not being "across the street," even now, so many years after my parents sold my childhood home and moved away. If there was an entry for "good neighbor" in the dictionary, there would be a picture of the Goodhues. Seth (or Mr. Goodhue, as he will always be for me) was simply one of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met in my life, with a smile to match. We were truly blessed to have had him as our neighbor and friend, and the world will be a little less bright without him in it.
