Praise for A Child's Life A Child's Life 90 Years Ago is an interesting snapshot of history in a small tight-knit community. Earlene has done a great job with the compilation of interviews from her family members who lived through these times. ----Becky Delaware, Scarborough Historical Society At its core, A Child's Life tells an American story, reflecting on topics ranging from electrification, to family life, to farming, and war, as well as the Great Depression. Ms. Chadbourne's story- telling is refreshing, aimed at documenting the lives of Earle and Florence Ahlquist, but also sharing pieces of local history and establishing a sense of community. --Jamie Kingman Rice, Director of Library Services, Maine Historical Society
