Speaker: Mike Thomas, EHS Class of '67
Mike Thomas: My name is Mike Thomas and I'm class of 1967 and I'm proud to be 200 And moreover, proud to be part of the 1966 undefeated football season and proud to have endured and existed and coexisted, with many many different students from different backgrounds in the city of Boston. A virtual melting pot of students and ethnic backgrounds, many of whom were 1st and 2nd generation immigrants in this country. And even in the years I attended, I was one of the fortunate ones who was able to matriculate at several other educational institutions in my loyalties and fondness and feelings and loyalties with English High School. I am very much looking forward to our 200th Anniversary Gala on October 1st at the Boston Marriott Copley Hotel. And I'm looking forward to seeing many, many of my classmates, Bruce Mercer, Norman Hoff, Stanley Hurwitz, many, many others that I would like to see and commiserate and tell old stories like we did about 6or 7 years ago at our back in 2017. I hope I see you at the 200th and I hope we can shake hands again and embrace for the first time in about 3 or 4 years.
