Sharing message from Sal Carmosino




Very sorry to hear of another passing of a classmate.  I didn't know Louise that well but I do remember her in some of my classes as a very good, determined student. I will send a condolence message thru the website.

If it wasn't for this blog, we would never know about such things, even though some are sad and some are happy.  

It's you Rose, that has kept our class together with this creation of yours and your many dedicated hours which are much appreciated by all of us.

Message from Paula Cerrone Snow



Rose, 

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes from you and the Lantern Gang! 

You're all making this a special birthday this year. Honestly, you are so talented with your graphics and messages. I have all I can do to e-mail, I'm so not good on the computer. 

Thank you again, 

Paula Cerrone Snow

July 12, 1896, Revere Beach Opens

Revere Beach Opens

On This Day...

      ...in 1896, 45,000 people gathered in Revere to celebrate the opening of the first public beach in the nation. In 1895 the newly-created Metropolitan Parks Commission had taken ownership of the longest natural beach in the Boston area. The MPC cleared it of a railway, shanties, and other eyesores and built a broad boulevard, an elegant public bathhouse, shade pavilions, and a bandstand. The new and improved beach was an immediate hit. On some hot summer days, it had more than 250,000 visitors, most of them drawn from Boston's working class and immigrant communities. Among the beach's attractions were some of the first amusement parks in the country. The Cyclone, built in 1927, was the fastest and largest roller coaster in the world.

4th of July Fireworks!


4th of July Fireworks

It’s that time of year again
We’re nearing the 4th of July
Nothing quite as pretty
As sparks against the sky

And that is what it means
Freedom it represents for us
A day to set aside
And to make a lot of fuss

We honor our independence
It’s what we have always fought for
And even though it’s never easy
To keep the enemies from our door

So picnics and bar-b-q’s are planned
To celebrate this special day
But stop a moment and remember
The meaning of the brilliant displays!
