Center of the Universe Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote that every little town in New England thought that it was the Center of the Universe. Robert Karl Skoglund saw no reason why this should not also apply to his front yard, so in the 1970s he can t remember the exact year he erected a 16-foot-high granite monolith to mark the spot. I thought it would fall down in a year, he told us. The monument s tall, tapered design, he said, was inspired by others that he saw in a 3,000-year-old graveyard near where his father was born in Sweden. The bottom part came from a foundation stone from one of his mother s relatives; the top part is a piece of granite from the quarry where his immigrant father worked as a paving cutter.
