Queen of Suffield High School class reunions Gertrude Israel Hastings reflects about class members who are missing and happily convenes the 75th Reunion of the Class of 1943 at Captain Jimmy’s in Agawam on October 13.
The staff of the Observer was generally happy with the October issue. We thought it had a variety of interesting articles and some beautiful pictures. It also contained a slightly revised Voters Guide, published a month earlier than traditionally had been the case to give voters more time to reflect and with a revised format, designed to give the candidates greater latitude to describe their virtues. Unfortunately, as some of you may have noticed, it arrived several days later than our goal of town wide delivery on the first of the month. For that we apologize.

This view looking down into the guard lock at the north end of the Windsor Locks Canal shows the immense stone that fell from the side-wall of the lock in late summer, leaving the upper tier of the wall in precarious but stable condition.

If we were to list the many values of our beautiful town of Suffield, we could probably fill the pages of this newspaper. Our wonderful citizens, great schools, lovely buildings and churches, parks, local businesses and emergency services are all special. But the one thing that separates us from many other towns is the amount of open space, forest and farmland which is the envy of other municipalities. How did this happen? It was the combination of excellent legislation and the forward thinking of individuals, farmers and town leaders who took advantage of the opportunities available.
Fall is one of the favorite times of year for many, especially in beautiful New England.
