A 40-YEAR Goshen Friendship
In the fall of 1976, four GFS moms of preschoolers joined together to carpool for the school year. The rest, as they say, is history! They enjoyed their friendship so much that they have continued to get together with their families for four decades, even after their children left GFS and even though one of the families has moved to North Carolina. They recently gathered at the DK Diner in West Chester for a reunion. Two of the women, Irene Crichton (far left) and Dorothy Ray (far right) continue to be involved in the school, Irene as a member of the General Committee and Dorothy as grandmom to two of our GFS Lower Schoolers. As one said, "We are not only good friends, but also Goshen friends!"
