Our friend and web guru Adam Gaffin, who runs the news website Universal Hub in Boston, sent us this link to an interview with Rebecca Griffin, the director of Boston's North End Music and Performing Arts Center. It turns out that Griffin, a local Boston art leader, had deep roots in the Delaware County town of Bovina, and was glad to tell NorthEndWaterfront.com all about them:
Becca, thank you for taking the time for this interview. Let’s get started by telling us a little bit about yourself. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a very small town in upstate New York, Bovina Center. Bovine means cow in Latin. It’s about 3 1/2 hours north of New York City. We moved there when I was a baby in the 1970’s and there were mostly dairy farms and a population of just around 500 people. I graduated high school there in a class of 26.
Over time, Bovine has become a haven for second homes for people from NYC. That has replaced a lot of the farms, but also brought a lot of arts and culture to the area. My whole family is still there.
