AO Reunion Crowd photo - Village Photo
On May 28th, 2002 there was be a Reunion gathering
for the many who have been associated with American Optical. People from
around the Country and from Europe gathered at the Hotel, which is the
former site of the American Optical Main Plant in Southbridge, Ma. This
building has just been renovated and is now a Hotel and Conference center.
The Reunion was open to the public, and past employees from a variety of
AO fields attended. The fields represented include Ophthtalmics,
Safety eyewear, Fiber Optics, Frames, Instruments, R&D, Todd AO, etc.
AO Reunion members begin to gather for large group photo on left. At
Right, Judy Furgeson bravely perched on lift to take the photo, as Franklin
Realty staff assist below.
Thanks to Judy, Ron and Crew for a great job.
Paul Zotos from Cable Access interviews me about the day, while group
gathering can be seen in reflection on the Hotel lobby window.
