Left to Right: President Kenneth K. Quigley, Jr., Dr. Kenneth R. Feinberg, Hon ’13, Chairman of the Board of Trustees Anthony M. Campo, Esq. ’79From the Office of President QuigleyEach summer provides an opportunity for us to reflect on the semester just concluded, while we prepare for the new academic year tocome. Looking back at the spring of 2013, we are reminded of just how quickly circumstances can change and adversity can arise, andhow we are defined more by our response to those events than by the events themselves.In April, we were all shocked and saddened by the horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon finish line and the aftermath in Cambridgeand Watertown. Here on the Curry campus, as all across the Commonwealth, we found comfort in community. In the wake of thesetragic events, we were heartened by the resilience, strength, and service of those we call our colleagues, our neighbors, our friends, andimportantly, our alumni and students.A month later, we were privileged to welcome our new Curry alum Dr. Ken Feinberg to campus to deliver the Commencement addressas we celebrated Commencement 2013. This summer, Dr. Feinberg handled the distribution of tens of millions of dollars to bombingvictims and their families in his role as the administrator of The One Fund Boston. It’s a task he has been asked to undertake numeroustimes—during some of our country’s darkest hours. Despite the gravity of his duty, Dr. Feinberg delivered an inspiring and optimisticmessage to those in attendance, urging graduates to find ways to serve their communities and to persevere when they face their owncrises.The themes of service in the midst of turmoil, and of facing and overcoming adversity, are clear throughout this edition of CurryMagazine.In “Running on Adrenaline” you will read the stories of three first responders (alumni Michael Adamson and Robert Ciccolo, andstudent Bee Potter), each of whom played a unique role in the massive community response to the Boston Marathon bombings.Professors Kirk Hazlett, Rebecca Paynich and Mike Sampson weigh in on the controversy over NSA surveillance of our phone calls andemails (“Point Taken”). You will also read the story of Bobby Nolet ’08 (“Solid as a Rock”), who overcame adversity at the start of hiscareer only to chart a new and successful career. And, on a lighter note, you will see how Trevor Smith ’93 helps others by giving them“Permission to Laugh.”These men and women, all Curry alumni and students, once again prove the thesis that we are not defined by the crises we face, butrather that we are defined by how we respond, how we bounce back, recover, and forge new paths forward.We continue to forge new and important paths ahead at Curry to serve our students, alumni and community. We gratefully acknowledgethe members of our community on this year’s Honor Roll of Donors, whose gifts to the FY ’13 Annual Fund help us do so. We alsowelcome two new members to our Board of Trustees, Dr. Ruth Ellen Fitch, Hon. ’11 and Thomas J. Quinlan III, P’13. We are pleasedand proud that they have chosen to join our governing board, and look forward to the contributions that they will make on behalf ofour students, alumni, faculty and staff.As we commence our new academic year at Curry College, I wish you all a safe, happy, healthy, and successful autumn.Sincerely,Kenneth K. Quigley, Jr.2 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013

BLUE HILLS AND BEYONDMACJ students partner with Boston PD and Plymouth IPSStudents in Curry College’s Masterof Criminal Justice (MACJ) programrecently partnered with the Boston PoliceDepartment (BPD) and the PlymouthIntensive Probation Supervision (IPS)Court to consult on burglary preventionand recidivism analysis projects.Cohort teams from Plymouth and Miltonreported their findings to an audienceof faculty, staff, family, friends, andrepresentatives from partnering agenciesduring a Capstone Presentation held inthe Keith Auditorium in Milton on May9, 2013.The Capstone is the final course of theMACJ curriculum, whereby studentsapply what they’ve learned toward a realworldsituation.“Students learn the foundation ofcriminal justice science and apply aproblem-solving approach to addressa contemporary criminal justice issue,while community agencies benefit fromcollaborating with an academic partner,”explained MACJ Co-Director Dr.Rebecca Paynich in her opening remarks.Plymouth Students Assess“Drug Court”The Plymouth cohort conductedan evaluation and assessment of thePlymouth IPS Court, also known as “drugcourt”. They sought to learn if evidenceexists to show reductions in re-offense byIPS Court participants compared to nonparticipants,and to determine if programresources are being used efficiently.Presentations included Bill Masseyproviding an overview of the projectobjectives, Flojona Desroches speakingto the existing relevant literature, BrianBill Massey thanks Interim Chief Tim Norrisand Sandra O’Brien of Plymouth Probationfor their collaboration on the IPS project.Cranshaw reporting on process evaluationwhich chronicled the program’s designstrengths and weaknesses, and KevinManuel detailing the outcome evaluationwhich examined IPS Court participantsuccess rates with a matched sample ofoffenders.“We did find statistical significancewhen comparing IPS graduates to thecomparison group,” said Kevin Manuel.“The key variable here is graduating IPS.IPS graduates will recidivate less than asimilarly situated probationer.”In his address on resource allocation, BillMassey reported that “Research revealedthat currently allocated resources of theprogram are being used very efficiently...our objective then shifted to finding waysto make a good thing better.”Among their recommendations, thecohort suggested an increase in thefrequency of IPS meetings - somethingthat Judge Rosemary Minehan of thePlymouth Court later acknowledged asshe took to the podium.“This study has helped us so muchunderstand what it is we’re doing andgiven us positive ideas on how to improvewhat we do – we’re in the process ofmeeting more often,” said Minehan.Minehan was cited as key to theprogram’s success, often using positivereinforcement in her leadership role. Itwas Minehan’s frequent phrase “worth itsweight in gold” – a comment she made toIPS participants who had stayed sober forextended periods of time – which servedas the inspiration for a coin presentationled by cohort member Laura Lincoln.“In addition to a diploma, the court couldalso provide graduates of the IPS programwith a small coin, a small token of successthat they could carry with them at alltimes to continually remind them of theirgreat strides.” These coins are similar tomilitary challenge coins or AA chips.The Curry College Plymouth cohort andseveral local businesses and organizationspartnered together to provide fundingfor the IPS ‘’worth its weight in gold’’challenge coin, a symbol to represent thatthe community supports IPS graduatesand are behind them in all their futureendeavors.Bill Massey noted that the diversity ofhis fellow cohort members was a greatadvantage in conducting the project. Hesaid researchers in the cohort represented across section of ages and ethnicities with avariety of backgrounds in law enforcementand correctional occupations includingpatrol officers, sergeants, lieutenants,detectives, treatment center coordinators,substance abuse professionals, and socialinsurance specialists.6 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013
“One aspect of our project that I’mmost appreciative of – is the professionaldevelopment opportunity that camefrom our group working together. Wediscovered that our professions not onlygave us a unique view of drug and alcoholissues, but also that they cross paths withmuch more frequency than we realized,”said Massey.“I now have a much better understandingof how other agencies serve the justicesystem. This project better connectedus as professionals, better informed usas concerned citizens, and likewise asprofessional students. It made us moreeffective as researchers and I’m happy toreport – closer as friends.”Milton Students Assist BPD inBurglary PreventionThe second Capstone presentation of theevening featured a burglary preventionproject: the Milton cohort analyzed threeyears of burglary data for the Allston-Brighton area.“Burglary is the #1 Uniform CrimeReport (UCR) Part 1 type crime in thatdistrict,” said Sergeant Sam Silta of theBoston Police Department, who providedan introduction for the Milton cohort.An alumnus of Curry College, Sgt. Siltawas assigned the task of coming up with aset of best practices and a plan of action tocombat the issue of burglary in the Allston-Brighton area. His resourcefulness ledhim back to Curry to form a partnership.“The best part about [our partnershipwith] Curry College is the fact that itsgraduate program consists mainly ofpractitioners who can take theory andapply it in an everyday fashion.”Michael Whittaker reported on the reviewof criminological theories to answer threekey questions: Why do criminals pickcertain areas to commit their crime?Why are some homes targeted more thanothers? How do criminals know whichhomes to burglarize?The notion of “predictive policing” wasfurther emphasized with a report fromCarrie Hormanski. She and her teamapplied their skills in coding and inputtingdata (including the arduous task of cleaningthe data) and geocoding the datautilizing several programs includingExcel, SPSS, and ArcGIS. StudentsMichael Whittaker reports on areview of criminological theoriesas part of a burglary preventionproject with the Boston PoliceDepartment.then completed a thorough spatialand statistical analysis of the burglaryproblem. The students subsequentlyfollowed up on this work by employinga CPTED (Crime Prevention throughEnvironmental Design) analysis,observing hotspot and non-hotspot areas,and recording and coding the observationdata for analysis.Bret Labelle provided details on how thequantitative research was utilized in reallifescenarios. The team visited hotspotarea properties, while also conductinginterviews with property owners andtenants to provide a deeper understandingof the problem.Franklin Davis concluded the Miltoncohort’s presentation by detailing severalof the overall recommendations for policyto help make the neighborhood safer.MACJ Program CapstoneIllustrates Reflective PracticeBoth the Milton and Plymouth cohort teamscompleted their projects with the goal ofbecoming “reflective practitioners.”MACJ Program Co-Directors Dr. RebeccaPaynich and Dr. Jennifer Balboni, along withother faculty recently updated the MACJcurriculum to include the Capstone courseto incorporate the group work. The newcurriculum reflects advances and innovationsof the field as well as the challenges withincriminal justice in the 21st century.“We wanted to enhance our program on thebedrock of a reflective practitioner model,”said Dr. Balboni. “The model asks those ofus working in the field to engage in a processof reflection to improve upon what we do asprofessionals in criminal justice – to be betterat what we do and to be more humane in thepursuit of justice.” uWritten by Glenn McGibbonSUMMER 2013 CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | 7
ON CAMPUSBPD CommissionerEd Davis Visits CurryEd Davis speaks to the Leadership Communication class.Written by Kevin DiffilyOriginally published in and reprinted with permissionfrom the Currier Times student newspaper.Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis spoke toa group of Curry students and faculty on April30, 2013 about leadership, his experience inmanagement, and, of course, the recent BostonMarathon bombings.“After 35 years, I can tell you I’ve never seenanything like what happened that day twoweeks ago,” Davis told a captivated audience inthe Hafer Academic Building Parents Lounge.Davis, who speaks to Curry Professor SharonSinnott’s Leadership Communication class onan annual basis, typically shares his experiencesworking his way up from a police officer inLowell to becoming the head of the BostonPolice Department. This time, however, thecommissioner had far more timely stories to tell.Davis, 57, stressed the role that the communityplayed in the eventual apprehension ofDzhokhar Tsarnaev and killing of his brother,Tamerlan. Dzhokhar has been charged federallywith using a weapon of mass destruction andmalicious destruction of property. Tamerlanwas killed during a gunfight with police inWatertown on Saturday, April 20.Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis spoketo Curry students and faculty yesterday aspart of Professor Sharon Sinnott’s LeadershipCommunication course.“Ultimately, it was the people who solved this,”Davis said. He praised residents who welcomedSWAT teams into their homes during the April20 manhunt for the surviving Tsarnaev brother,as well as those who provided the police and FBIwith information and evidence to assist in theinvestigation.While the focal point and majority of his speechrelated to the Boston Marathon bombings andthe ensuing case, Davis began by telling hisstory of ascension through the police ranks tocommissioner. He spoke of his managing styleand how it has changed over the years.“It wasn’t until I started to examine what I didthat I started to change the way I managed,”Davis said. His transformation was largely basedon the constructive criticisms he received fromhis peers and those who he managed.Davis’s audience was primarily made up ofcommunication and criminal justice majors,and he had a plethora of advice and informationfor both groups. The commissioner encouragedstudents to follow their passions, and to workhard in pursuit of their goals.“Let [employers] know what you want to do,and why you’re the best person to do it,” he saidwith regard to applying for jobs. “Rejection is atemporary thing. Be persistent.”Though he split his speech up into twocomponents—a description of his leadershipexperience, followed by his account of theBoston Marathon bombings—there was acatchphrase Davis used throughout: speak up.“It’s really what distinguishes you: the ability tospeak up,” said Davis. That sentiment appliedboth to students attempting to gain employmentin their desired fields, and members of thecommunity who assisted with the eventualcapture of the younger Tsarnaev brother.Davis emphasized that the police servetheir community, and vice versa. He drewcomparisons to the role ordinary citizens playedin the days when law enforcement was initiated.“The enlistment of the community is vital. Lawsonly exist as long as the people support theselaws,” said Davis, a native of Lowell.Students were very pleased by what Davis hadto say. They appreciated some of the closure heprovided regarding the bombings and ensuingmanhunt.“It made the situation, what happened, thatmuch more real,” said Kevin Fruwirth, a juniorcriminal justice major and captain of Curry’sfootball team. “It was great to get first-handinformation on the process he had to go throughwith his team to solve the case. It was good tohear it straight from someone involved, insteadof social media.”Added Gregory Manly, a junior communicationmajor and a resident assistant: “It was awesometo hear the story of someone so important insuch a huge event. Plus, the advice and stories hetold about leadership and his own experiencesare things I’ll always remember when I apply tojobs.”Davis has had plenty to deal with lately. He saidcoming to Curry was almost like a “break for medue to the craziness of the last couple weeks.”However, there was nothing crazy about hisoverriding message to students:“The people who speak up…it makes all thedifference in the world.” u{ }Video extra:Watch Matt Fitzgerrald ’13interview Ed Daviscurry.edu/magazine8 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013

“We are Something Great”Commencement speaker Ken Feinberg’s messagewas echoed in the speeches delivered by the studentorators. In her speech “We Are SomethingGreat,” traditional undergraduate orator MeganMcGrath of Seymour, CT urged her fellow graduatesto persevere through whatever hurdles theymay face.“Change is going to happen, but we accept thechallenge of being that change that the worldneeds. We are going to make a lot of mistakes,but we are resilient and we are strong and we areready to take on whatever life brings. But most ofall, today we will take with us the memory and ofthis moment and the power of the words, “Youare something great.’”Continuing Education orator Jean Griffin ofMilton, MA told of her 40-plus year journeyto achieving her Bachelor of Science degree inNursing.“Some three years ago, I returned to CurryCollege determined to advance my education inmy chosen field of nursing. All of the stars werealigned at home and now it was my time! Littledid I realize how important this journey wouldbecome when I suddenly lost my nursing job andwas forced to re-invent myself. Being enrolled atCurry now took on a different meaning for me.College was becoming my life-line for my identityand for my salvation. The words of EleanorRoosevelt inspired me: ‘You must do what youthink you cannot do.’”Graduate Studies orator Bachir Kouta of NewBedford, MA spoke of his own unique journey tothis moment after emigrating from Senegal at theage of four. Today, he finds inspiration from hissix-year old daughter Rylee.“In preparing for this speech, I looked over at mysix-year-old daughter Rylee, who is full of honestyand energy, and asked her one simple question: Isaid ‘Rylee, What do you think about life.’ Herresponse was: ‘Life is great.’ Rylee’s simple yetpowerful statement served as a reminder that:what we get out of life is what we put into it.Remember to look at your life through the eyesof a six-year-old and continue to make your lifegreat. Take all that you have learnedin the past and build it into a brighterfuture.”Amanda Elizabeth Cook of Fall River,MA was named valedictorian andJessica Brandi of Dalton, MA wasnamed salutatorian of the traditionalundergraduate class.In the Division of Continuing and GraduateStudies, Michael Adamson of Winthrop, MA wasnamed valedictorian and Kathleen Marie Shea ofBrockton, MA was named salutatorian.Amber Soucy of Springfield, MA received theNew Era Award.

Point Taken!Is the wide raging NSA surveillance programa violation of our privacy? Or is it a necessarystep to protect our country? Faculty membersshare their opinions with Curry Magazine.NationalInsecurity…The Erosion of Right to PrivacyKirk HazlettAssociate ProfessorCommunicationThe recently revealed escapades of the cloaked-in-mysteryNational Security Agency’s prying into citizens’ telephonerecords and other documents should raise serious concernsabout the gradual erosion of those rights and privileges that we,the citizens of the United States, have come to know, cherish,and take for granted.The interesting aspect to me, as a professional communicator,is the accompanying propagandizing of NSA’s shenanigans.Where we (they) cheerfully point to other countries delving intocitizens’ private affairs as cold-hearted communistic “spying,”the going term for NSA’s activities is “surveillance,” a muchsofter, gentler descriptor.More important, though, is what appears to be the steadilyincreasing intrusion into what should be our private affairs withan implied “trust me; it’s for your own good” explanation (alibi)on the part of the intruders.The whole developing situation…action of NSA, revelationin the media, apparent acceptance by the American public…brings to mind the “boiling frog theory.” It’s a theory in which,supposedly, a frog placed in boiling water will immediatelyjump out whereas one placed in cool water that is graduallyheated to the boiling point will remain and, not surprisingly(except, perhaps, to him!), find himself cooked.Whether or not this example is accurate is unimportant…theunderlying moral of the story is this: “People should makethemselves aware of and take action in response to gradualchange in order to avoid eventual undesirable consequences.”The bigger question, though, is “should we, American citizens,have to accept the circumstances and then be continuallylooking over our shoulders to see if we’re being ‘surveilled’?”It’s one thing for a known suspicious character to be watchedsurreptitiously by law enforcement officials. It’s an entirelydifferent situation when large numbers of private citizens arehaving their private affairs monitored for no other reason thanblanket claims of “in the interest of national security.”If memory serves, the presumption is that one is “innocent untilfound guilty in a court of law.” The National Security Agencyis not a “court” nor does it have judiciary powers. As such, itis not authorized to pry into law-abiding citizens’ private lives“just because.”We, as American citizens, have a right to expect that the sanctityof our personal lives will not be violated by others who choose toapply their own overly zealous interpretation of their authorityto their activities. The NSA spying on its country’s own citizensis an affront to all of us who appreciate the benefits of living ina democracy.Let’s hope that our elected leaders, too, will come to their sensesand hold this agency and others (did someone whisper “IRS”?)to their legally defined duties and responsibilities.12 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013
Safety vs.Freedom…and the NSA’s PRISM ProgramMike SampsonSenior LecturerCriminal Justice and Sociology(not pictured)Dr. Rebecca PaynichProfessorCriminal Justice and SociologyIn the title of this piece, we intentionally chose to not includethe term “privacy.” The Constitution of the United Statesnever explicitly uses this term. Both “safety” and “freedom” are,however, found in this amazing document.We (again an intentional term as government and lawenforcement come from us—they are our own creation) mustbalance our freedom with very real safety needs. 9/11 and othermore recent events have opened our eyes to the real threatof terrorism in the United States. As technology has rapidlyevolved, so too, must our definition of privacy. Fifty years ago,prior to texting, digital storage the size of a fingernail, and theinternet (including the dark web), the methods of “spying” weremuch more invasive. Today, surveillance can be completed faraway without any physical connection to any particular space(as can conspiring to blow up a bomb to kill and injure manyinnocent victims). Again, we are intentional with our wordshere. Spying is defined in Merriam-Webster (first entry) as “towatch secretly usually for hostile purposes.” Surveillance on theother hand, is defined (by the same source) as a “close watchkept over someone or something (as by a detective).” The firstexample given is that of government surveillance of suspectedterrorists. Criminals have evolved. Conspiring to commitcrimes (especially those of violence) can be perpetrated withoutever coming in physical contact with (or even knowing) coconspirators;our methods of detecting and intercepting thesecrimes must change. Organized street gangs, for example, nolonger want new members to sport fancy tattoos or flashycolors to communicate their connections. Instead, third andfourth generation gang members are expected to stay clean,sober, and do well in school, and eventually attend college,become professionals or even join military and law enforcementorganizations in efforts to further the gang on the “inside.”As a reminder, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was thought to be just atypical college student—many of his closest friends and familymembers had no idea what he was planning.We need to trust some governmental agency, at some pointin time to fulfill its part of the social contract. We created ourgovernment and law enforcement organizations for this veryreason. And regardless of political affiliation, we all recognizethe importance of safety. Both of the recent administrations(Bush and Obama) have thoroughly and with bi-partisanferreting and oversight signed the Patriot Act which allows fornumerous surveillance techniques and investigative capabilities.There is no 100% foolproof method, program or oversight thatwill protect all of our freedoms (nor is there a fool proof way toprevent all acts of violence). However, there must be a balancebetween our individual freedom and our ability to protect ourcitizens against threats, both foreign and from within.During the course of any investigation, law enforcementruns checks on license plates, addresses, phone numbers,businesses and government agencies, etc. and can access a slewof information without tapping a phone. With the explosionof social media and other public information sources, much ofthis information can be discovered with a quick internet searchand often times damning information is posted by the suspectsthemselves! (And most of this requires no law enforcementpowers.) In fact, private organizations have been collecting (andselling) sensitive (seemingly private) information for decades.Perhaps the more important issue at hand is not whether or notour government can or should collect this information but howit should be utilized once collected.What do you have to say?Join the discussion at:#CurryMagNSASUMMER 2013 CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | 13
Solidas aROCKBy Fran JacksonAfter a rocky career start with the fledglingPlymouth Rock Studios, the proposedfilm and television production studio inPlymouth dubbed “Hollywood East,”Bob Nolet ’08 has since made aPlymouth landing that is rock solid.As Director of Communications and Events at the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce,Pembroke native Bob Nolet ’08 markets a chamber comprised of seven hundred and fiftymembers and servicing nine towns on the south shore - Carver, Duxbury, Halifax, Hanson,Kingston, Marshfield, Pembroke, Plymouth, and Plympton.Nolet is responsible for over sixty different events each year, from morning mixers, legislativeluncheons, and business after hours, to monthly networking events and annual meetings.“The last thing youwant to do isthrow in the towelif you see hardtimes coming .”“Our largest event is held every August and it’s the downtown Plymouth Waterfront Festival. It’s a fullday event and about forty-thousand people come through over the course of the day. We have over twohundred and twenty vendors and kid’s activities. It takes over a year to plan for it.”– Bob Nolet ’08In addition to his responsibilities as an event planner and networking liaison, Nolet is responsible for mediarelations, publications and the Chamber’s social media sites. “I’m a social person,” says Nolet, “and this job isjust a perfect fit.”14 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013
The First LandingIt was the social media marketplaceCraigslist that helped Nolet land his firstrole after graduating from Curry - a threemonth public relations apprenticeship withPlymouth Rock Studios.“Watching the news, Plymouth RockStudios was the buzz around town –everyone wanted to be a part of it, and noone was too sure what it was. But it wasexciting because it was Hollywood, it wasflashy, and it was coming to Massachusetts.It was going to be huge, and the best partwas it was going to be in our back yard,here in Plymouth.”The studio proposal, conceived in 2007,included sound stages, back lots, amultipurpose theater, a hotel and offices.The original proposed location for thestudio complex in South Plymouth, nearthe town lines of Bourne and Wareham,was rejected because of faulty land titles,and the focus for the site became theWaverly Oaks Golf Club. The project wasdubbed “Hollywood East.”When Nolet saw the posting on Craigslist,he’d already done three marketing and PRinternships while at Curry, a sophomoreyear on-campus internship, a summerinternship at Brockton Hospital, and arecently completed agency internship atShift Communications in Boston. He hadn’tyet had any experience with a start-upcompany, so he thought, ‘why not try that?’“I applied and I was the last person that theybrought in to interview for the apprenticeship.It was probably the most nervous I had everbeen for anything. I had gone on plenty ofinterviews, but I wanted this so bad.”Nolet heard back two days later and wasoffered the role.He knew that the job market in 2008 wasthe worst in recent memory and gladlyaccepted the apprenticeship, knowing thatgetting his foot in the door was the bestthing he could do.“The biggest hurdle I had at Plymouth RockStudios that I learned was to overcomepeople’s perceptions about me. I was justout of college and I looked young. I hadto show people quickly that I did have theskills that I needed and I was trained; theclasses and the internships I did at Curryhad prepared me.”Nolet made his mark, and when theapprenticeship concluded, he was offeredthe role of Director of Communications.“It was a whirlwind. After I was hired for mynew position, the next thing I knew I wason a plane to L.A. going to the Producer’sGuild of America awards. I was on a redcarpet. I had private tours of Hollywoodstudios. It almost seemed surreal.”Nolet found himself with a tremendousamount of responsibility, including dealingwith the news media, sitting across thetable from folks from the Boston Globe andworking with Fox 25 and other broadcaststations covering the project.“The responsibilities I was given, thesituations I was put in, and what was askedof me was amazing for someone that wasright out of school,” says Nolet. “I wasthrown into situations that I really hadn’texperienced before on such a level. I grewso much as a person, and was growinginto that professional that I wanted to be.It seemed like it was happening awfullyquick.”What didn’t happen quick enough wasthe project’s funding and the construction.The studio had hoped to start constructionin July 2009. In September it announcedthat it had received financing from aFlorida based lender. But the funding fellthrough in November just weeks before theplanned groundbreaking, and constructionwas delayed indefinitely leaving the projectlooking for new investors. The financialbacking was never secured, and the projectnever materialized.“It was devastating. We had put our heartand soul into it, everyone that workedthere. We were almost like a family; wewould all have dinners together, go outtogether. We were all working for the samegoal, to bring Hollywood here and to buildthis film studio, and make it the best filmstudio in the world.“It’s really hard to explain to people. Somepeople think ‘oh it was just a job.’ Well, itwasn’t. I have lifelong friends that I madefrom there, because we were there nightand day, Saturdays and Sundays. We dideverything we could, because we believedin the project.“So to see it come to an end like it did… itwas devastating for all. It’s just unfortunatethat with the economy at the time, thefunding never came through. Because ifit had, we would have a huge film studioright now, ten minutes down the streetfrom where we are, and it would really besomething.”Between a Rockand a Hard PlaceAs the venture unraveled and PlymouthRock Studios closed down, Nolet was oneof the last people who left the project. Hewas dedicated and his superiors knew hewas in it until the very end.“The last thing you want to do is throw inthe towel if you see hard times coming.SUMMER 2013 CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | 15
“I learned so much from that job in theshort period of time I was there. Being apart of a startup is so eye opening. You seeso many different things that you don’t seeat an established company.”Nolet says he doesn’t regret the initial pathhe took despite the career speed bump thatit led him to.“If I had waited for a job elsewhere vs. anapprenticeship at Plymouth Rock Studios,I would have never gotten one. Never. Wehad over nine thousand resumes on fileat Plymouth Rock. That was a sign of thetimes in 2008.“After Plymouth Rock, I didn’t want to sitthere and say ‘poor me.’ At that time, therewere thousands of people out of work.”Nolet feels fortunate to have landed a newjob quickly after Plymouth Rock Studios, buthis good fortune was as much a testamentto his commitment to the Plymouth areaand his diligent networking as it was toluck. He’d volunteered his service to thePlimoth Plantation Marketing Committee,as well as for Destination Plymouth, thePlymouth Tourism Board. It was throughDestination Plymouth, where he met thewoman who’d subsequently become hisboss at the Radisson hotel in Plymouth.Knowing he was out of work after thestudio venture dissolved, she reached outand offered Nolet a position as the Directorof Corporate Travel and Tourism.“I was at the Radisson for almost twoyears and it was nice, because I was stillworking in Plymouth, I was able to use allmy same contacts. I was running in thesame networking circles and going to thesame events. I knew I didn’t want to leavethe Plymouth community, because I reallyworked hard to build the foundation thatI had and I didn’t just want to throw thataway and move up to Boston and startover.“Nolet had indeed forged a solid reputationin the Plymouth community, so whenDennis Hanks, the executive director ofthe Chamber, had an open position, hereached out and recruited Bob for the job.“I knew Dennis from my days at PlymouthRock Studios. It was full circle and that’sthe power of networking. I still talk to thepeople that I worked with three or fouryears ago at Plymouth Rock. I still networkand I see them these days in the same typeof networking events we used to attendtogether - the networking events that weput on here at the Chamber. I’m on theother side of it now, in a sense.”Casting a Wide Net“In my career so far, the biggest thing thathas helped me is the networking that I’vedone. The networking that I did all goesback to Curry and from what I was taughtthere; that networking is the key to careersuccess, and there’s so much truth behindthat.”Bob says what he enjoys most in his role atthe Chamber is that networking interactionhe has with business owners and thepeople in the community.“There’s nothing more gratifying thantalking to someone that you’ve helped bypromoting their event, or someone comingup to you and saying ‘I’ve met a greatcontact’ or ‘I have a great lead from one ofthe networking events that the Chamber puton.’ I think that’s probably one of the bestparts about what I do - being able to helppeople achieve their goals, and put theirmessage out there. That’s the most gratifyingpart of my job. Being able to help thesebusinesses succeed.”In terms of his own career success, Bobcites his internship experiences as beinginstrumental in acquiring the workplaceskills he still uses today.“There are so many times when I’ll think‘what I just did I learned about five or sixyears ago on that internship I did, thankGod I did it!’ I have to give so much creditback to those internships, and that wasbecause Curry pushed me to do them.”Plymouth PrideNolet gained a lot of Plymouth pridewhile working at the Radisson and atPlymouth Rock Studios, so when he hadthe opportunity to work at the Chamber, heknew it was one that he had to take.“It allows me to get even more into thecommunity, and it allows me to do moreof exactly what I wanted to be doing -communications, public relations, events,community outreach.“The reason I love this community is thehistory about it. It’s America’s hometown.People come from all over the world to seePlymouth Rock, the Mayflower, and thePlantation.“I’ve grown to love Plymouth. I’ve beena part of this town for five years nowthrough my work, and I live here nowas well. I recently became a member ofthe Plymouth Lions Club, and I love itbecause the Lions are the largest serviceorganization in the world. It’s veryrewarding to give back to a communitythat has given a lot to me so far in mycareer. I sit on the Plymouth CulturalCouncil, as well, which is a branch of theMassachusetts Cultural Council.“I believe all things happen for a reason.Because I responded to that Craigslist adfor Plymouth Rock Studios, it launched mycareer here in Plymouth and I couldn’t bein a more happier spot that I am in now.” u16 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013
Permission to LaughTrevor Smith ’93 really wants to make you laugh.Giggles, chuckles, and guffaws; real physicallaughs that involve your whole body.Smith isn’t a comedian—he doesn’t even tell jokes—he’s a laughtertherapist.“Basically I do programs and workshops and I focus upon usinglaughter and humor as a way to improve people’s health; a series oflaughter based activities and games. It’s really a community-buildingprogram and that’s how I look at it as a way to connect with people.”It’s a unique career, and something Smith admits he didn’t everexpect to do. He spent years doing Recreation Therapy for peoplewith disabilities. And in 2005, while researching new therapies, hediscovered something called the World Laughter Tour.“I looked more into it, did some research, and talked to the guy whoran this organization; and I was very curious what it was all about, andhe said to me, ‘It’s a brand new therapy, it’s very cutting edge and itmight be something you’d be interested in. It could be good for yourbackground in Recreation Therapy,’” Smith remembers.Before he knew it, he was attending a two-day laughter workshoplearning about a variety of different programs.“Actually they’re called Laugh Clubs, and I got involved with that andafter two days I became a certified Laugh Leader. I took it from there,I joined programs, I created my own Laughter Club and after a whileI was getting calls from organizations asking me if I could come andvisit.”Smith has a wide range of clients, mostly based in WesternMassachusetts. He works with senior citizens as well as manyprivate businesses hoping to use therapy to build camaraderie andreduce stress. He doesn’t tell jokes, fearful that some people couldbe offended by certain humor. Instead, the classes focus on physicalactivity, or improvisational techniques that can incite laughter. Merelywatching videos of Smith in action are enough to make you smile. He’sin constant motion—running, jumping, and getting everyone involved.“It breaks down barriers; it gives people permission to laugh,” Smithsays while explaining why he thinks laughter therapy works. “Itallows them to let their hair down and really build skills without beingself-conscious. So it’s really a great way to feel comfortable and besupportive and really feel good about themselves through laughter.”That idea about giving people “permission to laugh” is an importantone, and is especially true when Smith works with groups in thewake of tragedies. He recalls one session just days after the BostonMarathon bombings.“I remember doing it; and all these people telling me, how good it wasto laugh after that terrible tragedy. So, it provided that opportunity togive people permission to laugh. You’re going to go through traumaticevents like that; but I want people to understand how important it is tolaugh and uplift themselves, emotionally and physically.”Smith admits that can be hard, especially with the stressful lives thatmany of us lead. During his classes he works to teach participants toreduce stress and keep a positive mindset. Smith says that’s one of themost rewarding parts of his job.“Some people, when I start a workshop would be in a bad mood orfeel depressed, and after the program is over, they’re a totally differentperson. They’re happier, more energetic, and they fully transformedthemselves.”While transforming others, Smith has transformed himself, taking ajourney he did not expect when he graduated from Curry two decadesago.“I never thought I’d be doing this; but there’s always parts of my Curryexperience that I take with me, that’s working hard and believing whatyou do. My background was education and I did a lot of work at theschools, but I also really learned to pursue what I really wanted to do,and that was a big part of my Curry experience.” uWritten by Noah LeavittPhotos courtesy of Jackie Jacobs PhotographySUMMER 2013 CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | 17
Running on AdrenalineBy Noah LeavittA month before MBTA Police Sergeant Michael Adamson CE ’13 walked across the stage asthe valedictorian of Curry College’s Division of Continuing and Graduate Studies, he stood in aWatertown backyard alongside dozens of other law enforcement officers, his gun trained on a22-foot motorboat covered with a white tarp.Within a couple of hours, accused BostonMarathon bomber Dzhokar Tsarnaev wasin handcuffs, and Adamson had sustaineda minor gunshot wound.It capped the end of a whirlwind weekthat began on April 15 with one of theBoston area’s greatest tragedies, andended on April 19 with one of its largestmanhunts.Throughout that week, several membersof the Curry community foundthemselves on the front lines; respondingto the bombings, treating patients, ortaking part in the manhunt that paralyzedthe area for hours.Boston Police Captain Robert CiccoloMBA ’13 was in Kenmore Square on theday of the attacks, and then spent the nextweek helping to coordinate the responseby more than 100 law enforcementagencies.Meantime, Registered Nurse Bee PotterCE Class of 2014 helped to treat nearlytwo dozen patients in the EmergencyRoom at Boston’s Faulkner Hospital.Despite their different experiences, onecommon thread binds these men andwomen: their desire to serve.Chaos and ConfusionBoston Police Captain RobertCiccolo heard the blasts andsaw the white smoke risingfrom Copley Square while hepatrolled in Kenmore Square. Itwas 2:49 p.m. on Monday, April15—Patriots Day and MarathonMonday in Boston.“At first I wasn’t really sure what it was,”Ciccolo recalls, more than three monthsafter the bombings killed three people,and injured nearly 150 others. “My firstthought was that it was some type ofcolonial reenactment or something. Thenof course, you started hearing peopleyelling on the radio, and you think ‘okay,that was a bomb.’”Ciccolo normally works in the BostonPolice Operations Center, as commanderof the dispatchers for the 911 system andcommunications throughout the city.But, on Marathon Monday, he wassupervising more than two dozen officerswho, at the moment of the blast, wantedto follow their instincts and run towardsthe danger.“I had to stop them. I said, ‘if the incidentcommander wants us down there, he willcall for us. Right now we have 5,000people in Kenmore Square. and we haveto maintain their safety.’”Adding to the confusion, thousands offans were also leaving the Red Sox gameat nearby Fenway Park. And, as thosefans scrambled to leave the area, they leftplenty of bags behind.“In that situation, every single pieceof abandoned property is a potentialdevice,” Ciccolo explains. “In the hourafter the bombs went off, at least half-adozenpackages were examined by thebomb squad.”While Ciccolo worked to control a chaoticscene, nurse Bee Potter was bracing for adifferent kind of chaos five miles away inJamaica Plain at Faulkner Hospital.Potter wasn’t even supposed towork on Marathon Monday, buthad switched with a coworker,so she could be in the EmergencyRoom during what promised to bea busy day.18 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013
“I tend to work most of those holidaysbecause I like the disaster managementend of emergency nursing,” Potter says.“We were prepared all day, our disastermanagement coordinator was on site.What we were preparing for was theinevitable onslaught of twisted ankles,heatstroke, dehydration; we have aprotocol for that.”Potter and her coworkers were quicklyforced to shift gears after the two bombsexploded at the Marathon’s finish line.Even then, the staff was surprised whenbombing victims were sent to theirEmergency Room.“Faulkner is not a trauma center, sowe don’t do a lot of trauma. Initially, Iremember when the call went over ourdisaster radio; I think we were preparingfor other ambulances. We thought thatBoston EMS would send us all theother traffic; all the belly pains, the chestpains, so that the traumas could go tothe trauma centers,” Potter recalls. “Weactually had over 20 [bombing] victims,several went to the OR [operating room]immediately. We had FBI on site, whichfelt a little surreal.”It may have been a surreal and nervousscene, but Potter says it was a sort ofcontrolled chaos.“The patients stuck out to me. Becausewhen you hear that you’re going to getthis onslaught of people you think therewill be hysteria, but they were actuallymuch calmer than I expected.”While Potter and Ciccolo were in themidst of the bombing response—Sergeant Michael Adamson was strangelydisconnected from it all.“I was actually golfing, which is unusualbecause I always work the BostonMarathon,” Adamson says. “It’s a daythat I enjoy to work because it’s a funday and its very family oriented, and Ilike being out in things like that duringspecial events. This day I didn’t work,I was in Plymouth golfing and we werecoming off the 18th, we were done, wewere returning the golf carts and theperson who was collecting our bagstold us there were two explosions at theBoston Marathon.”At that point, Adamson was like many ofus—desperate for information, fearful,and powerless to help.“I tried making some phone calls but allthe phone lines were shut down and outeverywhere. It wasn’t until I got closerto home when I heard on the radio thatit was a criminal act. The marathon isvery family oriented, for someone to dothat, I had a mixture of emotions. I wasangry that someone would do that, andfrightened, that with heightened securityit could still happen. It’s kind of like 9/11,it frightened all of us, you feel vulnerable.It gave me a little feeling of vulnerability.”Amid those feelings of anger andvulnerability, Adamson also feltsomething else as he watched footage offirst responders rushing to help those inneed.“I was proud, just to see all the policeofficers, people that I worked with thatwere on scene as well as the BostonPolice and the State Police and all of theemergency and medical personnel thatwere on scene, just jump right into action.Without any real concern for their ownsafety, they just wanted to get to othersand try to protect the area and minimizethe injuries as much as possible. Since9/11 we have been training for thesemass casualty incidents. Up until now wenever had to apply it.”Rachel McGuire (Olanoff)Rachel McGuire (Olanoff) MACJ ’13 was just steps awaywhen the first of two bombs exploded at the finish line of theBoston Marathon. She quickly leaped into action, drawing hergun alongside three fellow Boston Police officers, while standingin front of a runner knocked to the ground by the blast, as shownon the Sports Illustrated cover from April 22, 2013 (McGuire isthe officer on the far left of the cover image).

BEE POTTERIt was a theme that echoed throughout Massachusetts in thedays and weeks following the bombings, epitomized in thephrase “Boston Strong.” Here on the Curry campus, studentsgathered for vigils and wore “Boston Strong” t-shirts, showingsupport for the victims and first responders.That feeling of unity, and purpose, extended to the lawenforcement officials who were responsible for hunting thebombers.Coordinating a ManhuntIn the hours after the bombings, dozens of different lawenforcement agencies swarmed into Boston—from the FBI andDEA to local police departments. It represented the start of anintense dragnet to catch the bombers.When Captain Ciccolo walked into the Boston PoliceOperations Center on Tuesday, April 16 at 6:00 a.m. he hada very simple job: making sure all those thousands of lawenforcement officers could talk to each other.“Working up here with my dispatchers and with ourtelecommunications staff we were able to set up a communicationsnet so that it was like they were all on the samechannel,” Ciccolo says. “The biggest piece was making sure thatinformation flowed where it needed to be. Making sure thatthe various command staff from all these different agencies, allthese officers on the street knew what was going on.”It may sound like a daunting and difficult challenge, but it wasone that Boston was uniquely equipped to handle.Three days after the Marathon bombings, Bee Potter was invited,along with hundreds of others, to an interfaith service featuringPresident Obama, Mayor Tom Menino, and other dignitaries.My Associate Chief Nurse called me at home the day before thechurch service. I didn’t really believe her when she told me thatFaulkner Hospital was given tickets for staff to attend and I waschosen as one of the ones who got to go. I had to get up at 5:00a.m. meet my co-workers, go to Brigham & Woman’s Executiveoffices to get the tickets then drive to the church, find parkingand wait in line to clear security. This was a five hour process toattend this service and worth every second.Mayor Menino had such passion and pride at how this tragedywas handled by the entire city and community. The serviceaudience had been quite quiet and, if you watch it, he receivedthe first standing ovation.The Islamic Leader Nasser Weddady [Director of Civil RightsOutreach for the American Islamic Congress] spoke at theservice. He quoted Muslim scripture which conveyed themessage that ‘one who kills a soul is like he kills all of mankind,and one who saves a life is like he saves all of mankind’. WhenI wonder if I did enough that day, if there was more I could havedone... I think of this, and know in helping the one you can reach,you help all.“Boston, over the last 10 years in particular, has developedenormous experience with these inter-agency operations.Starting in 2004 with the DNC and the Red Sox Championship,we have had to deal with these large scale events almost every20 | CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2013
ROBERT CICCOLOCaptain Robert Ciccolo has an important job: managing 911 callsand dispatchers throughout Boston. But on Marathon Monday,he had a very different job function.My current assignment is commander of the Boston policeoperations division which manages 911 and dispatch for theentire city. Prior to that I was the commander of district 18 inHyde Park, which is a patrol division.For large special events like the Marathon, commanders areoften pulled out of their regular assignments. The city is dividedinto different zones, with a Captain, in my case, in charge ofeach zone. My zone, or responsibility for the day, was KenmoreSquare, basically from Charlesgate up to Beacon.For that particular day, I had 27 police officers, 3 sergeants anda lieutenant. Our job was crowd control, traffic control for thatzone.Then there’s the law enforcement function. Public drinking, it’sa large college area. You also tend to have crimes take placeanywhere you have a large crowd, pickpocketing that sort ofthings. It’s always, quite frankly, been very peaceful. It reallyhasn’t been a law enforcement problem in the past. Obviouslythe bombs went off in Copley Square and everything changed.year. So, when the time comes when you have to do it with nowarning, you’ve done it before, you just have to make it workfaster than in the past.At Faulkner Hospital, Bee Potter had a first hand look at theinvestigation, thanks to one woman in particular—someonePotter dubbed a “reluctant hero.”“When she came in she didn’t want to give her name, becauseshe was the first to arrive and she didn’t know, ‘will they [thebombers] track me, will they get me?’ Her injuries were minorenough that she was able to go home afterwards. I rememberafterwards [an] FBI agent said to me, ‘She gave the most accurate,best interview, we got some great information from her.’”As you would expect, Potter wouldn’t call herself, or otherstaffers in the Faulkner Emergency Room, heroes for what theydid on Marathon Monday. But, they were honored days afterthe bombing, along with hundreds of other first responders, byreceiving invitations to an interfaith service featuring PresidentObama. Potter called it a humbling and inspiring experience.For Adamson, and many other patrol officers, the days after thebombing were exhausting, and also humbling.“Days off were cancelled of course, we were working 12-16hour days, but it was again a sense of pride that I was a part ofsomething bigger, that it was an active investigation that we werekept in the loop. The FBI were great, the State Police were great,they always look upon the transit system as a possible target, sowe were always kept in the loop with what was going on and theinformation just kept getting filtered down, so it felt like youwere a part of something big.”Adamson didn’t know it in the hours following the bombing, buthe would shortly become involved in one of the most harrowing24-hour periods the Boston area has ever seen.SUMMER 2013 CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | 21
Chasing GhostsSergeant Adamson heard it all unfold overhis police radio.Late on Thursday, April 18, Adamsonheard about the murder of MIT policeofficer Sean Collier, the hijacking of a carin Cambridge, and the wild shootout ona quiet Watertown street that left fellowMBTA Police Officer Richard Donahueseriously wounded.Initially, Adamson wasn’t sure how allthe violence was connected, but it soonbecame clear that it was related to theMarathon bombings. Once he knew thatanother MBTA officer was involved, heand several other officers drove right toWatertown.Adamson spent the rest of the night atthat scene, searching for evidence andcleaning up after the violent confrontationbetween police and the bombing suspects.While Adamson and his fellow officerssurveyed the damage, the rest of theregion was waking up to the news of theshootout that had killed one bombingsuspect, and the unprecedented lockdownthat had been put in place to catch thesurviving suspect.After grabbing a few hours of rest,Adamson returned to Watertown wherehe joined other law enforcement officerssweeping through homes and backyardsas part of the massive manhunt. It wasanother long and tiring day in a week thathad been full of them.After the call came in, Adamson joinedseveral other officers for the short driveto the Franklin Street home where thesighting had been reported. Eventually,nearly two dozen officers arrived, theirguns pointed at the boat. They anxiouslywaited for SWAT and tactical teams toarrive.“Something hit me from the time the callcame in, and from the time after we setup ground near the boat,” Adamson says.“There was definitely somebody in theboat, I could see somebody in the boat,and then it went from just another call tothis is the kid. It was a gut instinct that itwas him.”At some point, gunfire errupted andAdamson suffered a minor hip woundcaused by a ricocheting bullet. He doesn’tsay much about the injury and recalls hewasn’t concerned about himself at thetime.“My concern was my officers and keepingthem safe and getting them out of therewhen it was time to do so.”Brian GrayAnd that time came after an hour oftension. Eventually, Adamson’s colleagues,an MBTA Transit Police SWAT made thearrest, ending the backyard standoff.Several miles away, Captain Ciccolo heardthe arrest on his radio. He remembersfeeling a sense of relief—and pride.“I was extremely pleased that we gothim alive. That in itself was a sort of atestament to the professionalism of all theorganizations involved. We weren’t justrunning around, saying ‘we’re going toshoot him on sight.’”Boston StrongIf you watched the arrest unfold live ontelevision, then you probably witnessedthe incredible scene that played outon the streets of Watertown—crowdsof people lining the streets to cheerfor law enforcement officers and firstresponders. Boston Strong became apopular catchphrase in the days afterthe bombing, and first responders likeAdamson, Ciccolo, and Potter are theembodiment of that phrase.But that all changed when police receiveda report about a suspicious person in aboat.“Honestly, oh boy here we go,” Adamsonadmits he thought at the time. “We werechasing ghosts all day, somebody runningthrough the backyard, somebody here, itwas frightening. It was well organized,but it was probably the tenth call of apossible suspect sighting.”Photo courtesy of The Improper BostonianBrian Gray CE Class of 2014, is a Health Managementmajor who works as an EMT for American MedicalResponse, and as a firefighter for the town ofPlympton, MA.On Marathon Monday, Gray was off duty with hisgirlfriend—until the bombs exploded.Gray’s story was recently featured in The ImproperBostonian.

MICHAEL ADAMSONSergeant Michael Adamson spent more than a decade of hiscareer as a detective with the MBTA Transit Police. But whenhe returned to school he opted to return to his roots and patrolthe streets in Mattapan and beyond, allowing him to connectwith the people he serves.While their actions were certainly special and heroic during thatharrowing week back in April, Ciccolo says it’s no surprise thatlaw enforcement officers and first responders stepped up the waythey did.“It’s what we do. This is our job. The nature of emergencyservices, whether it’s police, fire or EMS, is that we spend a lot oftime standing around waiting for things to happen, at the sametime we’re hoping that nothing happens.”And when things happen—they are ready to respond.That sense of urgency, service, and duty is something Potter alsofeels.“I just hope that this City of Boston knows that we will take careof them. And I wouldn’t be afraid to go in again. If there is adisaster, I would go,” she says.“You always wonder if you’ll belly up, if you’ll crack when you’reafraid, and I think being a nurse is a decision that you won’t beafraid. I like being a nurse.” ufirefighter) were walking out of a restaurant when he heardthe explosions. He hugged her and immediately ran toward thesmoke. Gray quickly got to work helping people who had sufferedlower body injuries—using his belt, shoelaces, and zip ties to stopbleeding.We see the transit system as a community, and we implementcommunity policing by putting officers out there in the stationsfor high visibility and high interactions with our patrons.We have very good partnerships with the local police departments,especially Boston, Cambridge, and the state police aswell as Quincy; they comprise our core system which is ourprimary focus. We also have several different initiatives andgreat relationships with various other agencies.The day of the marathon bombing I was not working, which isunusual because I typically work the Boston Marathon. It’s aday that I enjoy to work because it’s a fun day. The marathon isvery family oriented, for someone to do that…I had a mixture ofemotions: anger, frustration, and sadness.At the end of the week I was proud of the emergency andmedical personnel that had been on the scenes, just jump rightinto action without any real concern for their own safety to getto others, protect the area, and minimize the injuries as much aspossible.The FBI were great, the State Police were great; they alwayslook upon the transit system as a possible target, so we werealways kept in the loop. Days off were cancelled of course, toursof duty were extended, we were working 12-16 days, but I had asense of pride that I was a part of something bigger.Gray didn’t know it at the time, but his girlfriend had followed himinto the smoke to help victims as well. They were both reunitedaround 8:30 p.m. that night, more than six hours after the bombsexploded.SUMMER 2013 CURRY COLLEGE MAGAZINE | 23
