Memories Shared, Memories Made

Evelyn Hurme Fogg reviews an album of Westminster elementary and junior high photographs assembled for our 50th Class Reunion.

The Monday, July 26 edition of the Gardner News (Volume 208, Number 175, pages 1 and 5) featured a front-page story on Gardner High School's class of 1960 three-day reunion. Staff reporter Steve Marcotte attended the Sunday Brunch at the Levi Heywood Memorial Library to interview classmates. His report acknowledged the large number of scholarships and awards received by members of our class, and included quotes from Jerome Pierce, Judy Heino Collette, and Judy Goodwin Cross.

The color photo of Karen Heywood Greenlaw published in the Gardner News did not scan well (came out too dark and grainy) so we used one of our own from the Sunday Brunch in this post.

The album that Evelyn is holding is still not complete. We are missing Mrs. L'Ecuyer's 1st grade class, 1949, and Miss Smith's 6th grade class, 1954. It does contain the entire Junior High Yearbook from 1957, thanks to Jean Williams Mattson.

The following GHS classmates and friends contrubuted to the album by loaning original documents or photographs for copying and scanning, or by helping to identify names of students in photos.

Jean Williams Mattson, Evelyn Hurme Fogg, John Oinonen, Ernest Lehtonen, Oscar Lehtonen, Merilyn Ruuska Dunn, Marilyn L'Ecuyer Michelson, Robert Marien, Robert Lowman, Ruth Vieweg Hutchison, and Richard Donovan.
