I spent many days with Eric when the family moved to Antrim. We were 10 years old at the time. We were both taught to drive the tractors and the operation and maintenance of the all farm machinery and buildings. Those days were very educational for both of us. He had great interest in Antrim and history even at that time. I
We both have birthdays in the same month. Mine was one day before his. I liked to remind him that I was the oldest. What I got in return was a moan, grunt, and a grin. I have always remembered this as it was chrematistic Eric. May he now rest in peace.

My wife, Linda, and I meet Eric and Linda Tenney because of our shared interest in Scottish Terriers. We also had the opportunity to visit with Eric and Linda at their home.
I share Eric´s interest in history and always learned new things about our past when talking to him. Eric was very proud of his New Hampshire home town and not only knew the towns history but was instrumental in shaping it in many different ways.
I remember with fondness how Eric took me on an afternoon tour of Antrim and surrounding villages. He told me not only about the towns history and development, also about the complexities of local land ownership which has been shaped by individuals having passed parcels of land through the generations. I was very impressed with Eric´s knowledge of and pride in his hometown and will remember this tour fondly.
