I was saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. George Magrath. He was my principal at Meriden High School in the 1950`s, and he attended all of our Reunions including our 50th in 2004.
Dr. Magrath had a great gift for remembering names (Maiden and Marriage) and we always looked foward to seeing him at the Reunions.
My deepest condolences to the Magrath Family, may Dr.Magrath`s soul rest in God`s eternal peace!
Sincerely.
