David Perry dances and raps along with Tupac on his way back to his Claremont, N.H., apartment after getting hired on at a Washington Street grocery store, on Tuesday, August 8, 2023. Perry said he went through a difficult time filled with alcohol, drug use and suicidal thoughts following the death of his mother several years ago, but he is now in the Hope 2 Freedom recovery program. Perry said he decided not to take the bus across town because walking and dancing is, “good for me.” (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
