Where are the police when you need them?
In line at Dunkin' Donuts, waiting to buy a cup of coffee.
Actually, Marash Girl would like to differ with the overheard quip quoted above, because in Newton, the police are always there when you need them! In fact, this year Newton, Massachusetts, was ranked fifth among the safest mid-sized cities in the United States. Marash Girl herewith sends her thanks and appreciation to the police force and the firemen of Newton, Massachusetts, for keeping safe the city that welcomed her father and his family when they arrived in 1922, fleeing from the horrors of genocide, to Newton, Massachusetts, the city of her birth, the city in which she grew up, the city that she loves.
They arrived in 1922, when dad was 10 years old.
ReplyDeleteDad was there during the battle for Marash, wasn't he, and that occurred in late winter of 1920.
ReplyDeleteHats off to richard Salemme, a fellow day junior high and newton high classmate, a great cop, rose to lieutenant, or captain, a great guy, one of the reasons newton had less burglaries under his watch than when we were growing up in the 'fifties.
