RESIDENT OF THE MONTH—HARRY AUGER

Harry Auger moved into our community in late October, and we are all excited to honor him as our Resident of the Month for February. Harry was born in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, which is a neighborhood in Boston. He grew up with three siblings and during his career, Harry worked as a cabinet maker for forty-five years. Harry has three children and one grandchild who mean a lot to him. He still has a passion for model building and often works on model size replicas of different ships and more in his apartment here at FMAL. Harry’s many hobbies include: movies, shopping, playing cards, and any other group activities. He also enjoys shows about history and loves eating Italian food. His favorite place to travel to, he says would be Cape Cod, which is near where he grew up. If you ever get a chance, stop by and take a look at some of his wood working projects because they are truly a work of art and very detailed. His Mayflower replica was on our dining room mantel during the Thanksgiving holiday, and many, including myself, were surprised to find that it was made by Harry, himself!
