Boston English
My father, Hugh Bushmiller, is heading off to his sixtieth High School re-union.
I can't say with 100 percent certainty, but this may the first
High School reunion he has gone to. First one since I've known him. June 1945 is when he graduated from Boston
English. Also known simply as
The English High School !
There have been a number of buildings and address in the English
Schools history the alumni subsite from link above has pictures of all
of them. I tried to find a link for this event - the reunion. I don't
know what I might have been thinking. People of my fathers generation
think the internet is something used in the cod fishing industry.
"Somebody oughta take care to tie those internets to the boats better,
the stray ones are so thick in some places I hear of kids surfing on
them." My father will have nothing to do with PC's, just doesn't care,
too much trouble. Fortunately this means he is probably not
reading this, but if he is... Hi Dad.
I think he said a while ago the plan was for some of the
re-unionites to catch a Red Sox game. Robert doubts this because
he claims Sox tickets are impossible to come by.
Wikipedia has a stub article up for Boston English put up a year ago and left to twist in the wind since English High School of Boston - Wikipedia.
I added a link for the official boston/k12/english site (the link
above) and noted one additional alum - class of '52. Remind me to ask
my Dad why both English and Latin claim to be the oldest public school
in the country, somebody must be invoking a technicality. I see that it
lists Leonard Nimoy as having gone to English. Nimoy might have been a
freshman there when my Dad was a senior, I'm surprised he hasn't
mentioned this before. Maybe he did and I forgot. I forget a lot of
stuff.
