Minuteman Grad Takes "Eye-Opening" Trip to Israel
Written by Judy Bass
A trip abroad can be taken for many reasons – enjoyment and relaxation, pursuit of an interest in history, or strictly for business. But for Gregory Margolis of Acton, his journey to Israel in January was a welcome chance to connect with his heritage and to see how his Israeli peers live and cope with the centuries-old tensions in that uneasy region of the world. What attracted him was, in his words, “the idea of living and interacting on a daily basis with eight Israeli soldiers and learning not only the history of their country, but also what they see and go through every day.”

Dornbusch nets 1,000th point for Minuteman
Wednesday, 25 November 2009
Needham — It was a topic that was brought up Abby Dornbusch’s sophomore year at Minuteman Regional in Lexington. She came to the vocational school after her freshman year at Needham High School and got a chance to start immediately for the Mustangs’ basketball team.
Dornbusch averaged 17.5 points a game right away, and helped bring a team that was 2-18 the year before her arrival to a 19-4 record and a state vocational championship. That’s when there were whispers that 1,000 points could be attainable.

Following that campaign, “1,000” became not so much probable as inevitable.
