Connie I remember going to your mothers 100th birthday in Westborough. I was wondering if you knew that my mother and yours were friends when we were young, if my mother were alive today she would be 106. Bless you and your family. Sandra McCarthy Leduc

I am sorry for your loss, but I may have something you would like to share. If your mother went to school with my father, Harvey K Blakely at the Hudson St. School in 1906-07, I have a class photograph.
If you would like to contact me, I will email you a copy, or print it out and send it to you. She is not identified, but I am sure you would know her.
