My Gosh! Did I REALLY talk
that way? GREAT website guys! I LOVED and still LOVE Leominster
and
Massachusetts in general even though I have only been back 1 time
since I left in 1977. My Parents
divorced and Mom wanted to move as far away from Dad as possible.
So, I write this email from California
(we could not drive any further away without a boat) I was born
in Lynn but only stayed there for 17 days
before moving into Leominster. We bought a house on Rose Avenue,
right behind Poulin's Farm. I noticed
someone else who knew my good friend Todd Davis and wrote a
message thinking he may be dead. I certainly
hope not. I still search the internet for my old friends from
Leominster. Randy Lewis, Ricky Peters, Paul and Greg
Gagne, Dean Hickey. Even with technology, I have not ever caught
up with any of them. I hope this message falls
upon eyes of someone from my past. I grew up using my middle
name, David and have 2 brothers Chris and Mike.
Last name is Gallo and we grew up on Rose Avenue. I would welcome
any communication from my past which I
miss dearly.

Hello and thank you for putting together such a wonderful site. I just discovered it. My father, Marcel Xavier Rocca, was a member of the class of 1946. I have been trying to find copies of his high school yearbook and especially a copy of the baseball team photo from that year. Do you have any idea how I might be able to do this? Thanks for any advice you might be able to offer. Best regards. Larry Rocca<larry.rocca@gmail.com> Monday, Dec 22, 2008 12 a.m.
Great job on the website!! I was browsing thru and lo and behold I found the same exact picture posted of Tiny Tot Nursery as I have in my cedar chest. Yes, I am in the picture and boy did it put a smile on my face. I'm in the first row of children sitting on chairs. I only recognize one other person in the photo though. It would be interesting to see how many others are recognized. Although I didn't graduate from Leominster High (in fact it was from Holy Family HS) I did grow up in Leominster and have many memories as do others.

I'm a native of
Leominster, and was moved by the tribute posted online to Tommy
"T' Miller, for whom the basketball
court at Bennett School is named. "T", Mike
("Benny") Bangrazi, Jim Boissineau, and I and so many
others, wore out
the asphalt on that court. After graduating from Holy Cross, I
moved away and I hadn't heard of Tommy's passing.
He was such a fine person, competitive, but always a good sport.
He was a fine example for kids. May God's light always
shine upon him. I'm sorry that Tommy never got the liver
transplant he so desperately needed. Like him, I was confronted
by the same illness, but was fortunate to receive a lifesaving
transplant 8 years ago. Leominster was a good place to call
home, with so many fine people.

Hi. I did not grow up
in Leominster, I grew up in Auburn, MA. My father was raised in
Leominster, his name is Bradford
Wass and he is turning 60 on May 10th. I would really like to do
something special for him and I know he has tried to
get a Wass milk bottle from the farm he grew up on. He has not
been successful yet, but if anyone could help me or know
someone who could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you.

Just browsing and
found this site. What fun. I married Jerry Richard, also of the
class of '53. He passed away quite suddenly
this year. Miss him terribly. Wonderful memories of the class of
'53. Hope to hear from some of you. I live outside of Atlanta
now.
Would love to see Leominster again. Keep up the good work.

Just wanted to say
that this is a great site. Browsing through the site brought back
so many memories. If anyone
who graduated in '97 sees this, email me. I'd love to revisit
those days. Go Pats, Sox, and Celtics.

I am searching for a
friend of many years ago whom I presume attended LHS. Catherine
who's last name I think was David or
possibly Young. She lived at 21 Franklin St. I last visited in 55
or 56. I think Catherine would have graduated in one of those
years. If anyone would have any information that might lead me to
reuniting with Catherine I would be very thankful. Dave

Your pic of the

best burgers we could find. This site is great, thanks,

Hi Gang, I'm just
looking for further info on the passing of my friend Peter Leon

and when he went to school, etc. I also miss my friends Dickie

Still looking for 1968
classmates Kevin Donegan (believed to be living in Maine?) and
Mike Lastella (believed to be in Mass and retired from Mass
Electric.) Guys, we need a reunion, as awkward as it might
be. I saw Mike at the 20th reunion, but Kevin wasn't
there. I heard from David Mathews at Christmas, 2004,
nothing since.

Greetings -Although I
never had the privilege to attend Leominster HS, I did grow up in
Leominster and hold many fond memories of it. I lived on Eva
Drive, in a red cape cod style house. My best friend at the time
was Todd Davis, he lived over on Pleasant St. We had a blast when
we were kids, riding mini bikes thru Wass farm, bottle hunting,
swimming in Barrett Pond, and the State Forest. I was back in MA.
in the mid 90's doing a little reminiscing and tried to locate
him with no luck. Another buddy of mine who lived in the area
said that Todd had passed away, but gave no further information
about it. I've been surfing the web lately, looking for more of
what's happening in Leominster, and I found your site with a
picture of Todd as part of the LHS football team of 1980. That's
the most information I ever had. I had left Leominster back the
early 70's. Todd went with me to the airport, we flew from
Leominster to Logan in a private plane my Dad had arranged, Ft.
Devens days. That was Todd's first flight I remember, and we lost
contact after that. Just trying to garner a little bit of my
past, I guess I'm getting homesick, or just cherish the good ole
days. Any insight would be most appreciated. Thank you in
advance.

Hi! I graduated from
LHS in 1948. I was born in Leominster and my roots there
can be traced back to 1769. I was employed by DeLisle's for
19 years and managed Allen's Department Store for eight
years. I left in 1972 and moved to Texas but still
get homesick at times. This is a great site. I spent
a lot of time exploring it and got nostalgic at times as I read
familiar names, especially from the 1951 and 1952 graduation
programs. I will check back often to see what has been
added.

married in the First Baptist Church there in Dec. of 1958.

Hi! I am trying to locate
any relatives/friends who may know relatives of my biological
father James Bourque. He died when I was 3 years old, and
unfortunately I have had no contact with his family, but would
love to know them! If you have any information I would
really appreciate it. He married Sharon Bailey and I have
two sisters who would also like to know more about our father's
family. Peace

Happy to see that there is
a web site for Leominster High School grads! My name: Lorraine
(Taylor) Girouard. I graduated from LHS in 1956 (married
the same year, so celebrating 49 years, on both counts).
It's very unlikely that I'll be able to attend the 50th Class
Reunion...because we live in British Columbia, Canada and that's
quite a distance to travel. We love it, here on the West
Coast: we are 20 minutes from the Pacific Ocean and 20 minutes
from the USA border. The weather is very pleasant: long
summers and very short winters (many years, we get no snow at
all). British Columbia is a rainforest - that is why we
get so much rain: it does make everything green, though.
And, in the summer, we don't *tan*....we ~rust~! We had 9
children...then, 9 grandchildren; and currently, we have 4 great,
grandchildren. My husband, Joseph, retired in the year 2000.
Being a 'housewife'...I shall never retire!I hope that all
my classmates have had long, happy lives...and that most of
them are enjoying their retirement years!

of 1940 from LHS let me hear from you and I will pass it on to
Marty!!! He isn't on the internet and if you prefer his address

I think whoever put this site
together should be recognized for all the great articles and
information in it. I especially loved the article about Doyle
field since my house was on Grand St. and all of my many siblings
used Doyle Field as a very large backyard. If you're interested
in doing another article on a distinguished allumni you might
consider James Natchwey. I belive he was in the class of 1966. He
is an internationally reknown New York Times photo journalist and
was recently in the news because he was blown up in Iraq with
another journalist. He is recovering. Maybe there's somone who
would want to write about him. Thanks for the stroll down memory
lane!

Brownsville Station sang it
best with SMOKING IN THE BOYS ROOM. Then LHS switched it to the
smoking area. To many memories not enough space to type it all.
The Thanksgiving games rally, seniors day, two period in the last
year of school, study hall almost all day long, skipping out to
have lunch at McDonalds and the list can go on and on and on. If
I had to do it all over again knowing what I know now, I would
have no problem going back. The care free days, what a time. Blue
Devils will always live in my heart.

much a part of my coming of age. We'll miss you "T".

you to T.A.G. for that weekend. People think I'm crazy when I say
I'd go back to high school in a snap as long as it was 1964
again. Guess they should have lived in Leominster and gone to
high school with us!! Good job, Moose!
