Tom on berkshire mountain there did dwell Norman Rockwell narrator stockbridge is in massachusetts in an area called berkshire county. A pretty place that used to be isolated, surrounded by hills and mountains. Not big like the alps or the rockies, but big enough to discourage traveling in the olden days. Going west from boston, you had to head over the passes on the old mohawk trail. Then you got into an area maybe 20 miles wide and 50 miles long. Like a lot of new england towns, there are the traditional white houses and neat gardens and picket fences. That is the oldest house. Then there are the churches. And the town hall. The country around stockbridge farms, water in good supply. They tell me it is much like the lake country in england, including the writers to go along with the scenery. Hermann melville, the author of moby dick, lived here. In the summertime, the quiet of the town changes to a bustle of summer visitors, who come to enjoy the countryside, the theater, the ballet
Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for being here. This is a great day for us.

Next week, we will bring the justice and policing act, part of our bill initiatives to the floor. Before the fourth of july, well bring this important l
Going west from boston, you had to head over the passes on the old mohawk trail. Then you got into an area maybe 20 miles wide and 50 miles long. Like a lot of new england towns, there are the traditional white houses and neat gardens and picket fences. That is the oldest house. Then there are the churches. And the town hall. The country around stockbridge has forest, farms, water in good supply. They tell me it is much like the lake country in england, including the writers to go along with the scenery. Hermann melville, the author of moby dick, lived here. In the summertime, the quiet of the town changes to a bustle of summer visitors, who come to enjoy the countryside, the theater, the ballet at jacobs pillow, and of course the concerts at tanglewood, where the boston symphony plays. But most of the time, the village life flows like the quiet stretches of the housatonic river, an indian name meaning beyond the mountain place.
