Almost 69 Years Gloucester High School beat Winthrop 31-0 at Miller Field in Winthrop. How do we know? The official score card is on Ebay. For me finding this score card sparks visions of a different time in history. When I saw that there was a roster list I said to myself, I bet there was a Frontierro on this team. Sure enough, if you look at the Gloucester substitutes #29 Frontierro – 173 lb Guard.
This game took place less than a month before the attack on Pearl Harbor and I am sure that many of the men who fought on the field went off to serve their country in World War II. 5,600 men and women from Gloucester served in World War II.
Today is veterans day and we at GMG would like to thank all those who have served in the armed forces. If you see someone in uniform today or a veteran you know, please take the time to thank them and have them share a memory of their service.
Good Morning Gloucester
