FROM THE ARCHIVES
A
S SHE sorted through family photographs and mementos in helping her mother prepare to move, Kathy Ogden, long-
time writer for Times of Brunswick, discovered a ’Wick archival treasure trove. She told us the story: “A box in an upstairs closet yielded a wonderful connection to the school I have had the privilege of writing about: Brunswick. “It was a baby book, a loving record of the milestones in the early life of my stepfather, Christopher Woodcock. “I flipped it open. “And there, amid the memorabilia of his days growing up in Greenwich, were snapshots and records of his days as a Brunswick boy in the 1930s. “What a sweet surprise!” Among many items, the box harbored these photos, including one labeled “Field Day 1938.” Any ideas about which well-clad ’Wick boys are watching and waiting on the sidelines? Or do any of the other student or faculty faces look familiar? Let us know!
