     Farrell was an avid fisherman and outdoorsman who moved to Easton in 1968 with his wife, the former Annette Metrick, who grew up in Hyde Park. Annette Farrell passed away in 1991.
     The couple moved to Easton after they married in 1968.

    From Easton couple’s bequest preserves open space.
    By Paul Vogler, GateHouse News Service – 7 Oct 2010.
    EASTON — The Ashfield-Hawley Wildlife Management Area was dedicated Tuesday, Oct. 5 complete with a plaque with the couple’s name at the entrance to the area and the appreciation of many of the local and state officials in attendance.
     “The gift of land or funds to protect critical habitat does more for wildlife conservation than anything else people can do,” state Department of Fish and Game commissioner Mary Griffin said.
     The Farrells moved to Easton in 1968 after they got married. In addition to building their own home on Bay Road, they always had a large garden in their backyard, according to family friend, Bill Bradley of Easton.
     Bradley said when the Farrells were building their house, Calvin made sure those clearing the land returned the topsoil for his garden. That garden had a variety of plants and seeds in it, including giant tomatoes from Russia which his wife’s parents still grow tomato plants from. Bradley also said Calvin loved to fish and would keep track of the type of fish he caught and their size to report to the state. “A lot of his spare time he spent outdoors,” Bradley said. “This is a culmination of a friend’s desire to preserve land that won’t be built on.”
     Calvin also loved to rebuild outboard motors and donated 12 motors to the Museum of Transportation in Brookline. He also donated his collection of more than 50 vintage license plates to the museum.
     Bradley said Calvin was not into computers or cable TV and preferred to correspond with letters. He sent out a yearly newsletter filling people in on what the year was like. “He was just a unique soul,” Bradley said. Annette Farrell passed away in 1991 and Calvin died in May 2007. Bradley said it took three years to see his wishes carried out and his estate administered.
     Bradley and his wife traveled out to Western Massachusetts to attend the dedication this week. Bradley said originally Farrell wanted to leave the money to the state of Maine but officials there could not guarantee what the money would be spent on. He said Massachusetts officials committed to buying land and promised the money would not be used for anything else. Farrell chose western Massachusetts because the eastern part of the state was more developed. “We were reluctant to turn money over (to the state) and leave it open ended so the state agreed to make a purchase within 18 months and they stuck to it,” Bradley said. “It’s much more than I think (Calvin) would have expected.”
