Birthday April 12

Bio  Terry Date likes stories. He grew up in a family of five kids and there were lots of stories. He liked listening to them at the kitchen table, corner store and playgrounds.

Later, he liked to read them in books at school, borrowed from the library and at home.

Still later, he spent most of his spare money on books. New ones, some in hardcover.

He sleeps with five or six hardcovers in his bed. That can be uncomfortable.

The hardest part about moving from Newmarket, New Hampshire to the North Shore was moving and storing the books.

Earlier, he graduated from Michigan State University with a dual degree, in history and English. Also, he started writing stories there.

The past 12 years as a reporter he has had the pleasure of interviewing people and telling their stories, as well as reporting news events and shooting photographs.

He worked for two dailies, Foster's Daily Democrat and The Eagle-Tribune. He covered Seacoast towns for Foster's and Southern New Hampshire towns for the Tribune.

He left the Tribune to take the Swampscott Patch editor's job and looks forward to more stories.
