Birthplace

The page currently says Berggren was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, but the Hartford Courant says he was born and raised in Manchester, Connecticut, where he is a member of the local hall of fame. Do we have a good source for the Westerly birthplace? I can't find one, so if no else has a source, let's change it. Beginning (talk) 05:26, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
