Why do we know so little about David and Amias Thompson of Plymouth, England? And why is the little we know so often wrong? Our first European couple “settled” at Rye, NH in 1623. Within five years the Thompsons had abandoned their fishing and trading outpost and disappeared from Granite State history. Popular author J. Dennis Robinson explores the era, unearths the facts, and debunks the myths of our rocky 400-year-old origin tale. 

As we enter the last month of the year, taking time to pause and reflect on 2023 will help us prepare and plan with intention.

Come join the Planner Society to curate your own Year End Review, using reflection questions to help you evaluate 2023 and make choices about the new year.

The Planner Society is an online gathering of folks who are enthusiastic about planners, journals, snail mail, stationery, pens, & more. We also have experts present on some topics that may be of interest to the planner community in our Planner Society Presents Series.
