Remember Heddy Sakai?


Richard Goguen and Heddy Sakai
Heddy Sakai was an exchange student from Japan during our Freshman year at Gardner High School. Richard Goguen sent along the photo and story. "Through Facebook, I made friends with Chandra Farnsworth, who now lives on the west coast. She told me that Heddy Sakai was living in Boston and teaching at Bentley college. Heddy had gone back to Japan after our Freshman year but returned to get her undergraduate degree from Wellesley College before going to work in New York City. While in New York, she got her Masters and Doctorate from Columbia University. She came back to Boston and taught briefly at Framingham State College before assuming her current position at Bentley College. I knew Heddy because I used to go to the Farnsworth's after school and before band practice our Freshman year. We made contact via e-mail and have met several times since Easter. The photo was taken at my house."
