Bob Grigg, Colebrook's Municipal Historian and compiler/editor of the Memoirs of Colebrook River, was born in Colebrook on Dec. 8 1932. He attended the Colebrook Center School through the eighth grade, graduated from Lyndon Institute in Lyndon Center, Vermont, enlisted in US Navy (1952-56), Clark Univ. (1956-60), then embarked upon a career as a cartographer, finishing as the Information Editor for Hammond, Inc. of Maplewood, New Jersey.

After returning to Colebrook, Bob became involved with the Colebrook Land Conservancy and the Colebrook Historical Society, which ultimately led to his being named Municipal Historian for the town of Colebrook.  For the past ten years Bob has written a weekly column in the Winsted Journal under the byline "Historic Bytes."

Bob has been married to Anna Grigg for the past twenty-five years, and has a daughter, Robin, who is married to Rick Tillotson.  They all live in Colebrook.
