We presented E. Carlton Wilton with an alumnus ring and officially made him an honorary alumnus. We bestowed the highest award presented by the association, the Lifetime of Caring , to Mrs. Martin J. Meehan and the Meehan family for their involvement in the basketball program that not only provided athletics, but leadership skills to the alumni, who were touched by that experience. Many alumni were present and traveled long distances to attend. There will be a brief meeting beforehand. Gentlemen, it s time for revenge for last year s sandbagging from the boys and staff.
Feuds sometimes go on forever.
However, one came to an abrupt halt when the truth becomes the deciding factor. For years, two alumni have had bragging rights to the longest stay at the Boys Home. One stayed 13 years 8 months, and the other stayed 13 years and 5 months. However, it was discovered that one alumnus stayed at the Home from 1924 to 1940, a period of 16 years erasing those two records and starting a new feud, I hope. The most remarkable thing about all three of these people is the success about each one and their dedication to the mission of the Home.
