Dear Sharon: I knew a Goff family who lived in West Winfield, Herkimer Co., NY, during the 1940s. Mr. Goff was principal of the West Winfield Central School. His first name was Howard. His wife's name was Anne, and they had two children, Leslie, a girl, and Terry, a boy. Leslie was my best friend for a while and we were in the same class so she must have been born in 1930 as was I. Terry was a couple of yeas younger than Leslie. I don't know how many years Mr. Goff was principal of the WW school. He may have come in the late 1930s and stayed there until he retired. In fact, he retired to Unadilla Forks so that probably means he was principal all those years. He must have been born during the first decade of the 20th century.

They were Stuart and Leonard. They lived in the Willow St --Lenox Ave area. That's all I know about them, have forgotten anything more.
