Weston Voices

Paul and Elaine Deysenroth

Paul and Elaine Deysenroth have lived, worked, and volunteered in Weston since 1964. Elaine is a descendent of the Morehouse family, a prominent presence in Weston for several centuries. Paul’s career included twenty-five years as a facilities manager at GE, but he is perhaps best known for his commitment to the Weston Volunteer Fire Department and Weston’s Volunteer EMS. He also played an active role in the town’s acquisition of Morehouse Farm Park and the Lachat Farm. The couple treasure and nourish their ties to family, church, and community. As for the biggest changes in town, they cite the tripling of the population, the size of houses, and, generally, “a different atmosphere.”
