My name's Eric. Was born and lived in Keene for 23 years before moving out of state 7 years ago but we're moving back later this year so that's why I've joined the forums. We'll be somewhere in Cheshire county most likely, but will definitely be in Keene for awhile until we build a permanent house. I'm not really sure where I first heard about Shire Society, it was either FTL or Ridley Report.
Welcome!
Great news! Keep in touch.
We, you said we. Does everyone want to move?
We as in my wife and me.
Excellent news, so you already are familiar with old friends and family around Keene correct?
What inspired you to find and reach out to an internet forum full of recent movers to Keene? I ask primarily because I find that after living in NH for 6 months most of my coworkers and other acquaintances all conduct their social lives in the more traditional friends and family or friends of friends manner, no internet really involved aside from Facebook.This has also led to some moments where I have felt odd for explaining that I went and met "strangers from the internet" as others have described it.
Anyhow, I hope your move goes well and perhaps our paths will cross sometime.

I guess it depends on what you do for a living. I've been a computer geek since elementary school. I actually met my best friend on the internet even though we were in the same English class at the time and didn't know it. So I guess i've never been the conventional NH socialite.
While I'm familiar with Keene I have very few, if any freinds that are still there. But just about all of my dad's side of the family lives in Cheshire county minus one set of uncle/aunt/cousin. Both sets of grandparents have live in Keene all their lives (both sets were actually married on the same day in the same church, weird) My sister's there too. My mom's side of the family is mostly in NH as well just not in Keene anymore.
So as far as friends go, I'll pretty much be starting fresh.
