Another peek at what is coming
"Enchanted" by
Madlyn A. Fafard
My 6th grade class at Memorial School, Framingham, Mass, probably 1946 right after the war ended. I am on the far right in the third row back. We too, became part of Framingham of the future, many of us lived around here for most of our lives, Framingham, Ashland, Medway, Holliston, Sherborn, Southboro, some went far away, forever.
Soon you will meet Madeline my friend with the birth defect that caused her head to twist. On her right is my good childhood friend Arlene Scansaroli and behind Arlene is Marie, the sister of Madeline. Each of the faces has a story to tell, but, how I can tell them all I think, as I allow myself to fall back to those days.
I see Rita Stevens peeking out, third row on the left, saying, to my wandering mind, “How could you forget me?”
These “kids” where family to each other through out the war.
