His story begins in Taunton and spans over 60 years, through the Civil Rights Movement, The Cuban Missile Crisis and many other important events in American history. He is the son of Portuguese immigrants, part of a hard-working, close-knit family that values its culture and customs like “The Pig Stabbing.” He attended medical school and served in the military. In 1964, he returned home to begin a surgical career that would place him at the center of life in the Greater Taunton community for close to forty years. His medical practice is a big part of his story. His photography, world travels, family and friends are, too.  As a member of the Falmouth community and the Museum’s Board, he is also part of our story.  Meet our friend, David Gouveia, who will talk about his life and writing his memoir, A Local Boy.

Eight Cousins Books, our co-host, will have copies of this book at the talk.
The book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.
