I'm a native New Englander with deep roots there.
He is going to a beautiful, safe part of the country. Make sure that he has some *very* warm clothes for winter because it will be a level of cold that he has likely never experienced (i.e. a down coat, wool sweaters and suits, warm lined boots, wool, thermal or electric socks, flannel-lined jeans for P-Day, Clark slippers etc.) due to the humidity of the northeast. Unlike the west, in the northeast the cold cuts right through you. Get the L.L. Bean catalogue and you will have an idea of what to expect. Flashiness doesn't go over well there. New Englanders like things low-key.
Yankees are friendly but cautious. We can take quite a while to fully warm up to people. As others have stated, the majority will have zero interest in Mormonism. If Catholicism or the Episcopal church worked for great, great Grandpa, then it works for them, too. Yankees *hate* change.
Mitt Romney has a summer home in New Hampshire. For many New Englanders, their idea of heaven is a summer home in Maine.
