What a great website. Spent an hour or more going thru it. I used to live on Summer St. near the stadium. Graduated from St. Mary's class of 47. My wife Lois (Marshall) Seely graduated from SHS class of 48. She has relatives who still live in Cliftondale, Marilyn Falasca, her husband Ed who was captain of the football team 1948? He was also Chief of the fire dept in cliftondale until his retirement several years ago. We now make our home in Jacksonville Fl.I saw several names I recognized. One was Grayce Chapman. She probably doesn't remember me . We once flew together form Logan to D.C., returning to our military assignment from leave. She was in the Army, I the navy. Some of my friends from summer st. were Ed Claflin, the Hussy bros, George and Richard, the Spencer's, Paul and Jerry, the Prentices Jack and Charlie, Charlie Green whom I saw at Betty Conlon's reunion last April in St. Augustine. Another name I should mention was Edna Winslow, who was a Saugus icon until her passing a few years ago.

My Father worked at Ace Welding, back then where they made equipment for the Govt. during the war. The owners at that time were Jimmy Saco, and Tom Maher. I better wrap this up as I could write a lot more. Anyone from Saugus in welcome to contact me. Joe Seely
