WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIAL OR MOST OUTSTANDING MEMORIES FROM
OUR YEARS AT NBHS?
I was very shy and not very popular. I was a cooperative student at Goodwin
Tech so most of my memories are of the 2 1/2 years I spent there. I do remember
what fun it was to go to the Thanksgiving day football game, even though it
was usually very cold and I knew nothing about the game.
