    Hi Everyone,


    I'm wondering if you folks could rack your brains and help fill in some simple guild information.  I'm trying to create a list of past officers of the guild.  I've made a list just using my meager amount of gray cells to start filling in the spreadsheet.  I'm wondering if you can help fill in the blanks.  

    I've created a spreadsheet that everyone can access.  If you have partial recollection just place it in a note below the initial rows.  

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CVgpE2c5tPKqsxmX0D0nRFJxw8UsVb_xqeielZgFYIk/edit?usp=sharing

    Also please feel free to comment below if spreadsheets are not your thing. I'll try to add the info. 

    Thanks for your help everyone!

    Reach out to tom fama, and Jim Russell, fritz smith, and jim Tartaglia. 

    I don't think he does the msg board but Michael wheeler and i were very early members of the guild. I don't recall many names at the moment.  back int he early days there also was a guy who ran a finishing shop in off knox trail rd in acton.  I think his son has taken over the business.  another person is Gary klauszhiemer





    I'm drawing a blank on his name but a past treasurer lived out in Bolton near the high school. 

    another fellow lived out in Ayer, retired from the glass industry, and went to NBSS. i think this was about the time Jim Russell joined.

    Pat Everett (deceased) was one of the first officer/president of the guild. I believe that he was one of the founder’s as well.

    Perhaps some of the legacy members (Dana Farmer, Michael Wheeler) might be able to fill in some of the blanks. Of course, unless their memory is as bad as mine, since it took me scrolling this site to find the reference to Pat’s estate sale (I bought his wood lathe) to confirm his full name.

    One of our earlier presidents was Tom Fama but I'm not sure what years he was in office.
