From 1952-1959, Beaulieu worked with the Veterans Administration, which led up to the formation of Duffley & Beaulieu Realtors. “I had known Duffley for many years and in 1959 (he was a school teacher) we decided to open the firm. Several VA friends had gone into the business and had done quite well. In the 7 years we have built up a solid diversified operation with a staff of seven covering appraising, management and general real estate. Local bankers are bending over backwards for the Realtors up here, but some money remains available at 6 ½ to 7%.” Dick is this year’s president of the local Realtor board; a corporator of the Merchants Savings Bank and a past president of the N.H. Jazz Society. (“I have a large collection of recordings and play the sax for kicks”). Married with a son and daughter, he spends his spare time skiing, swimming or taking appraisal courses.
