At last!
I'm not really referring to the mere three-week delay, but to the long 50 years that the Bellows Falls, Westminster, Grafton, Athens, Rockingham, Saxtons River, Bartonsville, and Cambridgeport children have waited to attend a school that was healthy, clean, well-heated and -cooled without drafts and suffocating heat and, most importantly, a school that is ready to enter the technological 21st century.
Because of lack of loving care and simple maintenance, this beautiful building was left to deteriorate and almost die.
It had been revitalized in the 1950s, shortly before I began attending Bellows Falls High School in that building in 1961. We boomers were already bursting her at the seams.
