Boy Scouts – Troop 1, Hopedale – Late 1966-1967
The pictures on this page were sent by Mike Connelly. Here’s Mike’s account of how they happened to get back to him several decades after he had put them into a scrapbook. During these years, Troop 1 was very active, and twenty of the Scouts attained the rank of Eagle.
This is from an album I put together. Scoutmaster Frank Care asked me to put this together as one of my duties as the troop scribe. When I moved to Framingham I gave it to my classmate Robert Biggs. I had forgotten this entirely. When I went to visit Robert in Naperville, Illinois, last November he had it waiting for me on his kitchen table. I was blown away. It has my handwriting all over it, for I captioned many of the pictures. Robert very generously gave the album to me last week and I just photoed it so others can enjoy the pictures.
