It was the contents of an old gym bag he found as a teenager in the attic of his family homestead that began Lee David Hamberg’s journey through time with the history of Southwick. The bag contained a treasure trove of family photographs. It prompted Hamberg to sit with his mother and great-aunt back in the 1970s to learn who the people in the photos were and when the pictures had been taken.
Their history thus documented, those “people” in the photos became “individuals” for Hamberg as he went about tracing his family’s roots in the small town that borders Connecticut with its famous “jog” across the state line.
