Education
" Grafton High School, we both went here; he graduated in 1968. I graduated in 1969.

Here is the University of Massachusetts -- Amherst Massachusetts. Dennis graduated from here in 1972.

Here is the campus green at Westfield State College, Westfield Massachusetts. This is where I went to school from 1969 until 1970. When I went to school here, there was no campus green.

Here is a view of Nichols College, Dudley Massachusetts. I graduated from here in 1974. This is the entrance to the library, yes, I did pass through these doors on more than one occasion.

Here we have a view of Algonquin Regional High School, Northborough Massachusetts.This school is where Dennis taught for 28 years.


A collage of things we have done. Think of the number of people the two of us have had a role, in part of their lives through music, teaching and sports.

This is where we grew up, the picture is looking from the steeple of the Congregational Church towards Mt. Wachusett.
Pratts Pond, North Grafton

Here are a couple of scenes from the center of town.

North St., in Winter.
The Second Baptist Church
These are all pictures from the center of town. When we were young there were three distinct sections in the town. The North was the middle class mainly the baby boomers, the South end was the Milltown where the factories were and the center, where the money was. Here is an example of the type of housing that might be found in the center.
The Polish Club, this was a very popular place in the southern part of town. There is a bar in the basement.






We are being read to at a very young age.
Places We Went

Hampton Beach New HampshireThis is the place where we went on vacation, and we would go with the CYC every year.
Below we have Mt. Monadnock, every year, we would go to climb the mountain; one year, Dennis fell off and broke his foot. The mountain was not that big, we climbed on paths. Not that difficult.



Below is St. Mary's Church.Dennis and I were both altar boys here, that is right me too!

We were both in the first classes to go to this school, he was in the second-grade, I was in the first.

Here is a picture of Dennis, Beth and my grandmother after the graduation from the University of Massachusetts.

This is Dennis at a very young age. Even then he looked acedemic! 		This is the Methodist Church, in the background is the Perry Hill School where my brother and I went for the fifth and sixth grade.
Some Pictures from the Early Years

Me heading to the Little League ball, the look never changed.

The picture below shows my father and my younger brother Dan. We should not forget them.






This is my younger brother Dan in the hospital. This particular time, I am visiting, probably after his operation. He was put in the hospital a couple of times when he was younger simply because he was our younger brother. Dennis and I used to play catch with him.
This is a jazz band Dennis and I played in high school.The picture was taken at the worlds fair in Montréal in 1967,you can hear us at the bottom.

Good Afternoon:

When Dennis went to the University of Massachusetts, I was a senior in high school. Even so, a few times I would go up and spend the weekend with him. Being freshman in college these students had discovered certain freedoms that might not have been there when they were still in high school. His dormitory was in the Southwest section of the University, in the high-rise dorms. The university was quite large, at that time, I believe there were over 20,000 students. When visiting it was okay to become involved in the various contests that would be run typically by freshman in college. Was rather cruel game was to go around to the campus and see, you could pick up the ugliest girl. While still in high school, I won. I admit, the game was cruel, but I was kind of funny that I was able to win it, while still in high school. Will figure out a better one for tomorrow.
