SPAGS???? I haven't heard that word in years!! Grew up in Southboro....LOVED shopping at Spags!! Thanks for the memory

Even us western mass'ers heard of Spags. You mean it's gone??????

rgj1998 - Yup! You get the gold star! Right By Huntington. Although I always say our claim to fame is the rest area on the turnpike

Being from Southboro, are you by any chance a product of Algonquin Regional HS? If so, let's all sing "It's a Small World, After All". Dad taught Math there for about 25-30 years, retiring around 1987. Just in case, here's Dad. He's now the director of the Worcester Farmer's Market (when he's not wearing his ears)-

Yes it's true, no more Spags. It's now a Building 19. Not quite the same. Oh well!

Yup! Class of '82! It surely is a small world!!!!!!!!!!! And you know what?? The more I look at that picture the more familiar he looks!!! He certainly has great taste in travel destinations!!!

What's funny is that it wasn't his pick of travel destinations-then. That picture was taken under extreme duress. My mom had always wanted to go to WDW, and at almost 80 yo, I guess he figured she could finally get her wish. Now he's the one who can't wait to go back.

Simba's Mom - my Dad was a Math teacher at Algonguin HS, too! He retired spring of 1987, and unfortunately passed away that Dec. at the age of 57. He originally taught science there in the 70's, and chaperoned a couple of ski trips to Europe. I'm guessing our Dad's knew each other well! Small world.

It certainly is a "small world!" I wonder if I knew your Dad too....(so very sorry for your loss).

Thanks, MrsBlovesDisney. I'm not sure which year he switched from science to math - I do remember it had to do with proposition 2.5 budget cuts, either switch to math, or get laid off. We were a family of 7 so that decision was easy. I will pm you his name.
