MIT Flying Club

On September 27, I attended an event hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Flying Club. The event provided students and the broader Boston community an opportunity to experience the technology and prowess of America’s 5th Generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. During the student presentation, the room was filled with energy and optimism, a refreshing change to the daily drumbeat of economic woes of American manufacturing and talk of a lost generation. My takeaway is that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter represents the future not only of our national security, but our economic security through its contributions to our manufacturing and technology industries.

Pitching In for Tim

Friday, September 30th

Young Tim Burke is undergoing chemotherapy at Dana-Farber. He is a fan of the Red Sox, so his family, friends, and neighbors are “pitching in” for Tim next Friday, September 30, at the IBEW hall on Freeport Street in Dorchester. The theme at Tim’s “time” is baseball, so come in an appropriate costume.
