West to Sandwich and Plymouth and saw Plymouth Rock and duplicate of Mayflower. F found lots of history of Winslow family. Bought shirt with Winslow family listed on it. On to Quincy, where Dunkin Donuts started, and the train to Boston. In Boston we took the Freedom Trail which included 11 historical sites important to the Revolution. Walked into Funuell Court House and found a huge pic of Edward Winslow. Then shopping in Quincy Market and a walk to the water. Had a big discussion with a vet who was against Obama and war. Ate at Ned Devine's. Food just ok. Stepped into Cheers and took pictures. Rode train back to Quincy and cars on to our rental. Great full day!

Our Lost Year
Hall Blog
At our reunion Judy Rephan Palmer and I talked about what we did the year the schools were closed, our sophomore year. She suggested we start a blog and encourage our classmates to share what we did that year and our thoughts, feelings and memories about that year and our other high school years. We did have unique high school years that are now in history books. So you are invited to share.
My church, Westover Hills Presbyterian, provided classes that year at the church with credentialed teachers. We used curriculum from U of A Correspondance Courses. We went to the downtown YMCA for PE. I remember morning classes that left me free to play a lot of tennis in the afternoon.I really missed all my best buddies. Most had left LR to go to school in other towns and live with relatives.
My mother worked that year on the Women's Committee to Open Schools. My Dad signed a statement from my church that appeared in the Gazette decrying the closing of the schools.
What do you remember?
