World Views

It’s one of the hidden gems of the New Hampshire art scene. It’s gaining a global reputation as a center for outdoor sculpture. And if nothing else, it’s a darn fine place for a walk in the woods. It is the Andres Institute of Art, a 140-acre sculpture park on Big Bear Mountain in Brookline. Andres Institute of Art is…

Pass It Forward

In the late ’70s, after reflecting upon his good life here in New Hampshire, A.J. “Skip” Homicz, D.D.S., decided to reach out to people who lead very different lives from his. He contacted the Missionaries of Charity, and soon embarked on what was to be the first of 10 humanitarian trips to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where 80 percent of the population…

A Pirate’s Life …

While “partying with the best of ‘em” at this year’s Best of NH bash, I helped organize the treasure hunt; the New Hampshire Magazine booth was bedecked in skeletons, gold doubloons and a shipwreck; and eye-patched, parrot-shouldered stilt walkers waved swords about and said “Yaarrr!” at every opportunity. In fact, Captain Morgan, best known for his spiced rum, in full…
