Anne Anderson
Anne Anderson moved to Woburn in 1965 to raise her family.  In January of 1972, her son, Jimmy, was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia at the age of three, due to longstanding water and soil contamination of arsenic and other heavy metals from local industries.  In 1979 Anne co-founded the organization For A Cleaner Environment (FACE) to bring the issue to public and governmental attention.  The efforts of FACE were successful, and the EPA declared the area a Superfund site under long-term cleanup status.  Sadly, Jimmy died of leukemia in 1981.  Anne currently resides in Derry, New Hampshire.
