Harris Blackwood: Hanging out with Orford's 'Sugar Daddy'
1016BLACKWOOD-column
Peter Thomson is the son of a former New Hampshire governor and a friend of mine. He retired a couple of years ago as the highway safety director of New Hampshire. Thomson is the Sugar Daddy of Orford, N.H., because he is Orford’s largest producer of maple syrup.
ORFORD, N.H. — Standing on Peter Thomson’s back porch, you have a spectacular view of Mount Moosilauke, a 4,802-foot-high mountain at the southwestern end of the White Mountains. Across the road is Mount Cube, a 3,661-foot mountain that contains a portion of the Appalachian Trail. It is a popular place with hikers.
