Special CRLS Edition For All Cantabridgians—Volume 16 was totally dedicated to having gone to Rindge Tech and Cambridge Latin and CRLS. Several copies are still available in a few stores such as Porter Square Books, and the Book Rack (Arlington Center).

 

Annual luncheon—We had another successful Growing up in North Cambridge luncheon in October at Frank’s Steakhouse. Thank you everyone.

 

Your stories—are always welcomed. Please submit by email or U.S. mail. I love the small details of where kids went, what they did, the people they knew, the implements they used such as toys, bikes, new cars, etc. Merci pour l’ecriture.

 

Puzzlers—Cantabrigians Harry Fine, played for the Red Sox in the Twenties, and John (Jack) Irving Burn, who was a Red Sox coach in the Fifties, having played for other teams in the Thirties, are of interest here. Does anyone know of their hometown roots? Did they go to Rindge or Latin or elsewhere for high school? Home addresses?

 

 


“Tip” O’Neill exhibit at BC—Boston College’s Lyn Goode, Tom Wall, and Bill Donovan welcomed Rosemary O’Neill (seated), Cambridge Library archivist Alyssa Pacy (right) and our editor, Stephen Surette (2nd from left) to view a display of “Tip” O’Neill photos in the Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. Library and plan for more exhibits during our beloved Speaker’s centennial year. This journal is accepting lighthearted stories about “Tip” for the Fall issue.
