Linda grew up in Medfield and now teaches several history and other courses at Foxborough Regional Charter High School. She also edits the New England Journal of History.
It happens that 2018 is also the centennial of other significant events – the end of the Great War (as it was known before Hitler plunged Europe into World War II)…and, thanks to Babe Ruth, the last World Series win for the Red Sox before an 86-year drought.
