You did not cover Veterans Day featured speaker–DAVID LOCKE
Fortunate ones of us such as the Boy Scouts, Honor Color Guard, Town Firemen, Town Policemen were treated to an inspiring speech by Mr. Locke, Marine veteran, former State Rep, State Senator & Minority Whip.
Stanley Spier, Dept. of Veterans Services, described how Mr. Locke signed up for the Marines–in the same room, 2nd floor of Town Hall– exactly 70 years ago (1944) directly from Wellesley High School.
Mr. Locke served several years in the Marines before attending Harvard & Harvard Law. His successful legal and political career representing the town for many years..
Mr. Spier, Dept. of Veterans services said Mr. Locke also spoke at the Veterans Days service 52 years ago!
It would be great to have Mr. Locke speak next year!
