Is this Mr. Crerie related to a Richard Crerie? My Aunt drowned at Wilbur's Point in the early 30's. Mr. Crerie would have been around 15 yrs. old. He tried to save my aunt but the undertow was too much. I have an article that explains it. I was wondering if there is any family left who would like to know how brave Mr. Crerie was.

My heartfelt condolences to Shirley and family.
Bob and I were neighborhood playmates, classmates at Classical High School, and fraternity brothers at UMass.I always looked forward to seeing him at high school reunions. He will be missed.
