I meant to say George was in my class at Marian High School in Framingham.

I went to Marian High School in Framingham, Mass although the obituary says he graduated from Franklin High School. May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace, Amen. Sincerely, Judith (Bokoske) Knowles
