A believer in reincarnation, Newburyport's eccentric 18th century merchant adventurer Lord Timothy Dexter predicted that from time to time he "may come back toue see houe you all goue on." Embodied by Newburyport native and Amesbury High School history teacher Paul Jancewicz, Dexter is good form to pursue new adventures. So, check your compass and mark your calendars, because the next community experience is planned for the last weekend of this month.
