On Sunday, February 20, 2011, at 2 p.m., Woburn Public Library will present the next “Community Conversation” with a show of photographs from the Farino Collection, a professional photographer’s view of Woburn in the post-war era.
A wide variety of “new” photos will be shown; topics included are more downtown businesses, more high school teachers from the 1950’s and 60’s, Woburn Post Office workers, the Ordination of Father Bernard Gilgun, Mayor John Gilgun, future Mayor Edward Gilgun, political rallys, and the answers we’ve received for photos recently published in the Woburn Daily Times, as well as many others. With so many Gilgun photos, we have contacted the Gilgun family several of whom plan to be in attendance.
As usual we will encourage the audience to name people and places they recognize.

We will also be reviewing the answers to the photos published recently in the Woburn Daily Times.
