Passing on their knowledge

Margo Scott, far left, and June Ottowell, center, of Naugatuck share a laugh with Kaynor Technical High School student Richard Brito, 17, of Naugatuck at the Naugatuck Senior Center on Monday. Scott and Ottowell were knitting newborn baby blankets, which will be donated to an area hospital. Brito was weaving a winter hat. Brito learned how to weave and crochet from the women at the center, which takes part in the summer youth program at New Opportunities Inc. of Waterbury. ‘It’s very calming,’ Brito said. ‘I never thought I’d be doing this.’
