Framingham Legends & Lore (20 page)

Doubtless, Framingham has witnessed events that fit these criteria over the past sixty years and continues to do so today. These newer stories are now undergoing the aging process that the older ones have already completed, slowly transforming from interesting sidebars in the day's headlines into legend. When the process is complete, future readers will have many new chapters to enjoy in the ongoing chronicles of Framingham legend and lore.
