About Me
Born in 1945 and lived in the CHARLESBANK HOMES, Charles Street & Poplar. I am a second generation "West Ender". I have a sister, Deborah who is two years younger. I attended the Winchell School and the Wm. Blackstone School for one year, after having left Girl's Latin School which I attended for a short while. My family and I moved from the West End in 1958 and moved to Revere. I attended Chandler School for Women (Business/Secretarial School on Beacon Street). I then volunteered to join the first experimental group of the Israeli Peace Corps, then was secretary to the Consul of Israel in Boston, afterwards worked briefly at the Pentagon and had a few minor positions thereafter. My cousins in the West End were the Downs family: Ann, Carol, Janice, Elaine, Arthur and Robert. They lived at 63 Allen St. My aunt was Zelda Bachcofsky and she worked at the Charlestown Naval Yard. It is a nice feeling to "reconnect" with the memories of the West End. S.W.B.

About Me
I was born in 1950 and lived on Leverett Street until we were forced to move in 1958. I had aunts, uncles, and cousins everywhere on Leverett so it was a close, safe neighborhood and I have wonderful memoires of that time. When we all were forced out it was never the same again. |

About Me
I live in the West End now, but I'm not and Old West Ender. I love the history of the neighborhood: its people, the events that happened, the richness of its culture, etc. I liked hanging out in the Museum so much that I started working there. It's nice to be there when people come in and tell their stories; it's like the West Ender Newsletter coming alive every day. - Thank You All! |
