Carolyn (Lens) Malo:  

Hi All, I am the former Carolyn Lens & am happily married & still living in MA. I lived on Benel Rd. in Belnel Village with my family. I had 4 siblings but my oldest brother whose name is Bob, passed away at the age of 72 this past October & my other brother whose name is Paul passed away on April 2nd of this year, 2012. He was only 13 months older than I & he was a 1960 graduate of HPHS Paul took the shop course & about 4 years after he graduated, Paul joined the Air Force & served for a little over 4 years..Our entire family is devasted over the 2 recent deathsThe reason that I mentioned my brothers' deaths was in case any of you knew one or both of them. Bob graduated from English High School. I have a younger sister Susan & she is happily married & she is 51/2 years younger than I am. My father owned & operated the Whiterette Laundromat on River St. That was across the street from Metropolitan Ave. Some of the teachers at our high school were customers of my dad's. My mother worked there part time to help my dad out but didn't start there until I was 17 & that's the age I was when I graduated in 1961.I think that some of you might remember seeing my father's laundromat & that's the reason that I mentioned it. Diane (Gradzewicz) from the class of 1962 remains my best friend. I was a cheerleader in my senior year & on the Pep Club in my junior year. I attended Girls Latin for my first 2 years of high school but because it was like a college prep school & I was used to being on the honor roll in elementary & junior high schools, I was worried that I might fail the subject Latin & I detested that subject so I decided to switch to good old HPHS & was so happy that I did. I was in the college course & I enjoyed going to school. During lunch periods I mostly sat with Ginny Gaegan & Jean Fennessey. I remain in contact with Jean. Do any of you remember them? Jean & I fixed my brother Bob & her sister Jackie up & they got married.So sad that they've both passed away.They were so much in love. My brother Paul had (until his recent passing) all the friends he grew up with in Belnel Village. There are several of them but the only one that went to HPHS is Ray Fisher.They all are such a loyal group to each other. I wonder the reason(s) that we didn't have a 50th Class Reunion. That would have been a huge celebration.Do any of you know the reason(s) that we didn't have one? After High School, I became a Medical Chemistry Technician & worked at Tufts' Medical Center & enjoyed that very much. I took Chemistry at MIT, I also worked at Sturdy Hospital in Attleboro & Norwood Hospital. I have 2 wonderful adult kids that I had with my ex-husband. My daugher's name is Suzanne & she is married to a wonderful guy. I can hardly wait to have a grandcfhi...Expand for more
