From TalbotShaving:
Part seven (final story post): So with all of the really cool moments behind me, it was time to get to work. I created the label, had it printed and shipped. I worked with many fragrances to create the scent, and landed on a green grass and floral note, ending in a subtle, yet present dirt and wood note. Everything was on track.
One morning soon after, I was working on my family tree. My research on one branch took me to Windsor, Ct. Windsor and Westfield are connected by the fact that the same group of settlers from Europe settled in both areas, oftentimes by different members of the same families. I thought that was a cool connection, so I dug a little deeper. Then I saw the name Dewey. And I dug a little more, and there it was. Thomas Dewey. The gravestone memorializing Thomas Dewey, the very stone my brother and I helped fix by so many random moments taking us there months earlier, was placed in memory of our 11th Great Grandfather, and generations more. He was one of the first settlers of Windsor, and while he’s likely buried in Windsor, no marker exists. But here in Westfield, he is remembered. And that beautiful moment had my brother and I in jaw dropping awe.
