John Roland Hare was born Aug. 11,1958, in New Haven, the son of the late John and Sylvia Powell Hare.
When he started public school in New Haven upon completing first grade, his academic performance was so outstanding that he was tested and was recommended to receive a scholarship to the private Foote School here in New Haven. He attended Taft school in Waterbury and graduated from Princeton University where he was prepared for jobs dealing with stocks. While married to his wife, Lorna, 2 children were born, Chelsea and Malcolm. Unfortunately, the union did not last and eventually, the family returned to CT from Ohio.
