FRAMINGHAM, MA - Framingham Selectmen hosted a farewell reception for Town Historian Steve Herring on Tues., Sept. 27th, 2005 in the Memorial Building. Herring is moving to Florida near the end of October and leaves a legacy of two books and much research and guidance about the town's history.

Tom Gilchrist, Director of the Framingham Libraries, is also leaving. He notified his staff that he will be leaving in January to pursue new horizons.

The search is on for a replacement for Dr. Helen Heineman, first woman president of Framingham State College, who will also leave in January.

And for those who have been looking for Hammett's, the store for teacher's supplies, it is going into the Cloverleaf Mall, next to Michaels.
