Ken is a retired research librarian from Brookline, a Massachusetts town bordered on three sides by the City of Boston. He brings in-depth research skills to the development of every tour he leads, adding interesting and unusual stories, people, and events to the well-known aspects of local history. The only thing Ken likes more than learning new stories through research is sharing those stories with others. Ken first led tours 30 years ago, guiding visitors to Massachusetts by taking them to historic sites in Boston, Cambridge, Lexington, and Concord. He has also presented localized walking tours and presentations as head of the Brookline Historical Society. Among Ken's many interests are history, geography, architecture, technology, and the changing nature of daily life -- all very much present in the stories of Boston and nearby cities. He is also a lover of language who writes about word and phrase origins and a notorious punster who has participated in competitive punning. (So be prepared.)
