For the 50th reunion, we'd collected and Jared Golen created and displayed a list of the classmates who'd died. I did some research to find out when people died, and if there was an obituary, a FindAGrave photo or some information in Ancestry.com about them. For a few people, I was unable to find additional information. Our life expectancy is roughly 77 years according to actuarial charts if we've made it to our mid-60s. According to an AI search, 25 members of our class should have died by 2025; we'd lost 17 classmates. Will update as necessary.

If you search on West Boylston over at Classmates.com, you'll find a number of former students.
Mike McGrain sent me a photo from our first day of kindergarten, September 1962:
|
From left to right, Judy Neeley, Buddy Nichols, Laurie Trask, and Michael McGrain at the bus stop. I have no idea what's in the bags that Judy and
I are carrying. My mother took a photo
that included other kids (including my sister who wasn't even in
school yet) at the foot of the Neeley's driveway that morning.I never found that photo. Judy moved to Grafton when we were in second grade. I ran into her weekly in high school when we both sang in the Worcester Concert Choir (Doug Rayworth's wife Linda Benoit sang there as well, along with Jennie and Jodie Bartlett). I ran into her again with her parents on Mother's Day 1983 when we both took our mothers to the same place for lunch. |
