But few will know or realize that the Patriots franchise builder and owner, Robert Kraft, has a strong connection to Nova Scotia and the Atlantic provinces that even played a pivotal role in the creation of the Patriots dynasty.
Kraft noted in a recent phone interview from his office at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, that he only heard about her experience in later years after she immigrated to Boston. "They divided the city into eight districts and each had a medical station established in a house or other building, staffed by nurses, other professionals and volunteers like the women of the Volunteer Aid Detachment . It is conceivable that a veterinarian could be a volunteer, and initial care for eye injuries would be provided at a medical station for soot, blood and debris affecting sight. If surgery was needed it was provided by 15 eye surgeons at the major hospitals.
While the early years in the Boston area must have been challenging for Sarah Webber, Kraft implies that his mother made it all somehow work. He speaks fondly and with great nostalgia about his mother and her influence on his life, exemplified by the credo she would send him off to school after breakfast every day.That this philosophy stuck with him is fairly obvious both in his business career and his marriage to his late wife Myra Nathalie Kraft, a kindred spirit and partner in the various causes that their philanthropy supported over many years.
