He wrote a column for the Christian Science Monitor for over 60 years from a farm in Lisbon Falls, Maine and authored 30 books. Born on October 22, 1908 in Brighton, Massachusetts to Franklin Farrar Gould and Hilda Dobson Jenkins, the family moved to nearby Medford and then to a farm in Freeport, Maine. His family subscribed to The Youth’s Companion, Rural New Yorker and The Boston Post, all of which published materials submitted by young Gould. In 1924 he began submitting news items to the Brunswick Record and continued to write for the paper until 1940, later becoming a featured writer for the Boston Sunday Post. Gould graduated from Bowdoin College in 1931 and married Dorothy Florence Wells in 1932. They moved to Brunswick, Maine, where Gould resumed writing for the Brunswick Record and his wife became the newspaper’s household editor. The couple later purchased the Gould family farm in Lisbon Falls, where they would make their home for over 30 years. Gould began writing a syndicated weekly column for the Christian Science Monitor, also published in all major magazines and many newspapers in the U.S. He also did a daily radio show for 5 years for WLAM in Lewiston, Maine and a weekly show for WBZ in Boston. Gould died on September 1, 2003, aged 94.visualizza meno
