Daniel, a true "TOWNIE". His heritage goes back to Road's History. Memories of growing up with the gang on Beacon Street; my brothers "Buster" and "Donnie", sister Shirley. Taking short cuts through Steer Swamp to Gerry School; lighting fires on the way. Sitting in Gerry waiting for the fire alarm to ring....we were just helping the ecology by burning old brush. The Ringe Estate....sitting atop the roof and watching the boats in Salem and Marblehead harbor. Playing hide and seek in the old abandoned estate....classrooms still holding desks, sliding down laundry shoots to the basement to escape local police....we stuck together through thick and thin; swam every summer day at Gracie's. We'll miss our loyal "Townie". Good bye, Dan. See you soon.
