Holyoke, March 30 — Would you believe this little shaver in front of the High Street Shoe Store run many years by William T. Burns, to be John J. Sheehan, who coaches so many dramas and plays for Holyoke young people of today? This photo also shows Telesphore Therrien, well-known shoe repair man of Appleton Street, in the doorway and Mr. Burns at the extreme left.
