Web Site Contributors
We're a bunch of Alumni trying to keep us all together after all these years. Without a physical place to call home, without an alumni relations office, we have made this site site our virtual "home".

A note from Matt Hasson, Webmaster, 2000 to 2012
I first started this website in 2000 based on material I wrote for a TV production project I worked on when I was at Grahm. I was given access to the schools archives which contained memorabilia from the Hotel Kenmore and early publicity releases from the Cambridge School. Additional research material I obtained at the City of Boston Buildings Department and the Boston Public Library. I’ve had hundreds of people sign the guest book since I launched the page on AOL. Now that original site is no longer, I hope to get more "Grahmites" reunited at this new location. I’ve decided to streamline this new site somewhat by putting all the photos in a photo gallery on Google Picasa. The guestbook remains with its many entries going back to 2001.
