“I don't believe in coincidences, but in 1957, while attending Northeastern University, my coop job was working as a draftsman at Malden Electric Co. While working there, I met Mr Whelan, Jimmy's Dad! Little did I know at the time that I would meet and form a lifelong friendship bond with his son. That friendship brought us by Ma Bell in where we were telephone technicians. Our family's became close and to this day still are. We will sorly miss him.”
