BY MATT SANDERSON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER PUTNAM — To sew together the last 10 years of one’s life is a difficult task, given the signs of old age. However, one local woman stitched together the fabrics of her life annually for children, and in great volume. In February, Frances Shaw, of Putnam, passed away at the age of 96, and with that, took a plethora of early 20th-century char- acteristics that are not as easily discov- ered today in people. Besides her lifetime devotion to the Putnam Methodist Church, Shaw spent the last 10 years of her life sewing comfort quilts for the children at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford. Each year she set a goal of making enough quilts to equal her age. According to family and friends, Shaw passed away two days after finishing her last quilt.

Graduate Danielle Rae Strandson gave the official welcome for the commencement ceremony. “We gather here to celebrate the end of a great four years and the start of the rest of our lives,” Strandson began. “As a class we have grown tremendously over the years.” Strandson said that during their time at the school, the Class of 2010 had faced many challenges.

The students relied on each other for help and support during their time at school, Strandson said, but now they must each strike out on their own to whatever is wait- Woodstock Academy graduate Danielle Rae ing for them in the future.
