Carlton concluded his employment working for the Durfee family as he managed their property in downtown Fall River, including the historic Durfee Theater. Throughout their lives Carlton and Edna went on many extensive camping trips that he recalled with great fondness. He reminisced particularly about their extensive trip throughout the western part of the country that they enjoyed shortly after their retirement. Driving until he was ninety eight, Carlton would travel, the length of the Cape every summer after Edna’s death and visit the spots that were most memorable to this very special couple.
