North Country At Work

A North Country Public Radio Project

Thomas LaClair on growing up on a 375 acre dairy farm in Clayton

Thomas LaClair says he’s what’s called a ‘boomerang’ – he was raised in Clayton, spent most of his career in the US Airforce, and returned to the North Country in his retirement.

Today, he lives about two miles from where he grew up in the 1950s and 60s, which was a 375 acre dairy farm. His North Country at Work story is about the work he and his siblings did.
