Drury Class Of '57 Donates to NBEMS in Honor of Classmate
By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Drury High School class of 1957 donated $2,176.90 to Northern Berkshire EMS (NBEMS) in memory of their classmate, Barbara (Nissen) Wagner, who helped establish the service in 1977.
"We appreciate this and when Barb passed away we had money that was donated. We put that money into an investment account," said General Manager John Meaney said. We're going to add this money into that account. Because someday, we hope to raise enough money to expand the service and hopefully, get a bigger building at some point, because we've been outgrowing over the years."
Wagner, who passed away in 2006 at the age of 67, was an initiator of the capital campaign to establish the North Adams Ambulance Service, now known as Northern Berkshire EMS, in 1977. She served as president of the organization for 29 years.
"She built this," Meaney said, referring to the Harris Street headquarters the group met in on Friday afternoon. "She was president of the board and they built the headquarters here…It has come a long way. She had a vision back in 1977 to where we are today. It is pretty amazing we have eight units and we cover 351 square miles and 13 towns."
Class of 1957 member Hulda Jowett said the class decided they were no longer going to hold reunions so they decided to clean out the account.
Class member Jane DeMarco said it was a clear decision to donate the funds in Wagner's name.
"She was a member of our class and this just seemed fitting," said DeMarco. "This might encourage other people who might have money they want to donate."
