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.
