Flashback Friday – the 1970 Lowell School Committee
Each Friday, I post an artifact from Lowell politics past. This week, it’s this photo of the 1970-71 Lowell School Committee

Clement Gregory McDonough!
He was a well liked and well respected member of the committee.
Those were the long ago days when local politics was still quite simple, and a guy like McDonough could run on the effectiveness of a very short speech: “I am Clement Gregory McDonough. Vote for me. I was named after two Popes!”
