OT,

Okay, I need some help from any willing LGF editors. I’m working on my 9/10/01 book and I’m currently writing a scene that takes place in a hospice facility.

Scene background: A man who has a ticket for Flight 175 is visiting his mother, who is dying of ALS, at this facility.

I’m currently fighting myself over whether or not I have too much exposition here or not. Opinions appreciated:

“The New Bedford Hospice facility sat on sixteen acres of grassy hills roughly forty five minutes north of Manchester, New Hampshire. The original complex of four stone buildings had stood for over 275 years, predating the birth of America itself.

New Bedford had been originally conceived as a religious facility and included a Church, a school, a rectory and a large library. A large fire in the 1830s had destroyed the interior of most of the buildings on the site, though it was later rebuilt and turned into a Union Hospital and storage facility during the Civil War.

The complex was used on and off in the decades following the war but, by the mid-1920s it had become completely abandoned. There were plans to revamp and reopen the site, possibly again as a hospital, but due to the effects of the Great Depression and World War II, these never came to pass.

So the site sat, unused, until a woman named Mary Rogers convinced her husband, a prominent doctor, to purchase and restore it in the early 1950s.

By 2001, the original complex of four buildings had expanded to eleven and the grounds of the properly had been greatly improved with the addition of a large fountain, several gardens, two gazebos and even a creek which ran through the middle of the whole property.”
