I've been to many places, many countries and many schools, but everything I needed to know I learned at North Quincy High School!!!

Some years ago, Our princicpal, John Walsh, came to a book signing I had at the Cape Cod Mall. I had a delightlful and lengthy talk with him and his wife that day reminiscing about NQHS. He was gracious to share with me some interesting stories about his time at our school and especially our class. He and his wife had lived nearyby here on the Cape. I told him I would sign my books for him if he'd sign my CLASS OF 62 Manet yearbook. He returned the next day and we exhanged books and autographs. It was special to me since he fell ill not too long thereafter and passed. It was a valued experience and I have his comments in my yearbook.
