Who Had These Comments: I grew up in Leominster - 1930 util 1948, when I graduated from high school and left for Fisher Jr. College in Boston. Moved to Michigan in 1954 and have been here ever since, except for a couple of years in Ohio. It's been fun looking through the documents on these pages. Thank you for a nice nostalgia trip!

Who Had These Comments: Not into geneology, just surfed on in from Google. I come from Leominster in England and was lucky enough to visit your Leominster in 1970 when I was a fresh faced youth of 17! Myself and a school friend were lucky enough to win a Rotary International competition to come on a 5 week student exchange in July/August 1970! We stayed with different families. I stayed with a lovely family Jack & Rita Galvin in Sterling Junction, then David Carmoli, The Andersons, and someone at Woods hole on Cape Cod. I have very pleasant recollections of US hospitality. Our Leominster is a small sleepy market town with lots of old black and white mediaeval buildings - very different to yours. For the geneological buffs amongst you Bill Clinton was born Bill Blythe (my surname) and your geneological society have traced him back to a graveyard in Mansfield UK and I can trace myself back to the same graveyard! But do I want to be related to him?? If anyone wants to know anything about Leominster UK contact me.
