JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week for my photos, a bunch of photos I took at the Battle for the Airfield reenactment at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA on October 12th. My son participated and was one of the German soldiers. Everyone did a great job and it was pretty interesting to watch. I think events like this are important reminders that the freedoms we enjoy (and sometimes take for granted) were paid for by everyday people sacrificing their lives defending our nation.

I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL.



My son Michael.
