We'll talk about that 23 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.840 later after nine o'clock. We have four interesting guests here tonight. 24 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.519 Back in the control room is Rob Brooks along with 25 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.000 his top deputy assistant, Shane, and we're ready to rock 26 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.439 and roll here. We want to start off with a 27 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.560 great friend of the program who we are going to 28 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.040 have on more regularly. I'm not exactly sure if we 29 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.159 had this schedule all worked out, but Emily Sweeney from 30 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.879 the Boston Globe. She does a program at the Globe. 31 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.480 It's called Cold Case Files. She's also the Blotter Tales columnist. Hi, 32 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.519 Emily Sweeney, Welcome back to Night's Side. 33 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.159 Hey Dan, thanks so much for having me. 34 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.040 I'm going about seventy eight RPM here because we got 35 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.200 so much to cover, but I want to slow it 36 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:50.120 down here and talk about a case you have been 37 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.400 working on that deals with the disappearance of a bright 38 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.879 mom right by what was the old Boston Garden right 39 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:04.640 down downtown Boston near Canal Street. Disappeared in nineteen seventy 40 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:09.039 five along with her car, and now her son, who 41 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.680 lives in Pennsylvania, is offering a fifty thousand dollars reward 42 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.800 for any information. He has no hope of finding his 43 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.680 mom alive, but he just wants to provide her with 44 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.039 a decent burial. This is a heartbreaking story, Emily tell 45 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:24.639 us about it. 46 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.199 Yeah, it really is a really important case too. Dorothy 47 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.520 Garashko was going out to meet some friends for drinks 48 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.639 at the Old Penalty Box on June fourth, nineteen seventy five, 49 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.919 and that was the last place that known sighting of 50 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.439 where she was. She was seen walking out of the bar, 51 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.479 leaving her friends, walking towards her car and disappeared, vanished 52 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.639 without a trace in her car too. And to this 53 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.599 day she's not been found, but there have been so efforts, 54 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.680 and actually there are search efforts underway. I learned of 55 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:10.199 a new development today where there's a possibility that her 56 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.680 car might be in the Charles River. We don't know, 57 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:18.960 but I spoke with Hans Huge. He's a he runs 58 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.199 a company called Sona Searching Recovery up in New Hampshire, 59 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.120 and he ran Sona on the Charles River and he 60 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.919 found five cars that he's going to be diving to 61 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.639 see if maybe, just maybe one of them is Dorothy's car. 62 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.479 Wow, it's amazing to think that a car could be 63 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.159 put into the Charles river. And I don't know the 64 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.400 depth of the Charles River. Obviously we all have seen 65 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.439 the sailboats on the river and other watercraft, but I 66 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.759 assume that Charles River is not that deep, particularly near 67 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.840 near the shoreline. I mean, how do you see there's 68 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.879 really no bridges you can drive a car off. When 69 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.680 you think about it, this, yeah, well, I'm wondering if 70 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.639 if with license plates, assuming the license plate wasn't removed, 71 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.159 but you have to wonder if fifty years underwater oxidation 72 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.800 would not have destroyed whatever enumeration might be on a 73 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.240 license plate. Have you talked to him about any of 74 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.279 that aspect. I hate to throw this at your gold 75 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.720 because we don't know these Those are the thoughts that 76 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.519 are running through my mind right now. 77 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.680 Absolutely absolutely, Dan, and I asked Hans the same thing. 78 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.680 You know, so he knows the five cars that would 79 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.600 may have been on the route that Dorothy may have 80 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.759 you know, taken or you know, maybe somebody who you 81 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.000 know did something bad to her, may have taken her 82 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.680 and her cap uh. And you know the Childs River, 83 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.040 you know, the cas are in different like you know, 84 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.000 have been decomposed over the years. And Hans says like 85 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.639 it's really had compared to like diving in the Charles 86 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.199 River sometimes so like diving in chocolate milk and here 87 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.040 trying to like see as you can imagine, and so 88 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.279 the conditions change a lot from time to time. And 89 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.319 the thing is about license plates, he said that usually 90 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.240 they survived that like they're made of material aluminum that 91 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.879 can you survive, you know, years and years underwater. So 92 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.920 a license plate could be a way to identify because 93 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.120 or could be a hood or ornaments, it could be 94 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.360 any number of things, like just to rule it out, 95 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.600 so you know that that's what we're you know, we're 96 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:35.319 hoping for. 97 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.959 And it's astonishing about the stories that you find out 98 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.839 about and you get involved with various police departments. We 99 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.120 always assume that on crimes like that there's a solution, 100 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.759 but often there isn't. And yeah, because the story, the 101 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.199 story will be a big story for a few days 102 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.399 depending upon the story. Uh, and then maybe a month 103 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.319 later someone does a follow up story and then it's 104 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.839 lost to the to antiquity. And to think that this 105 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.959 man in I guess he lost his mom. Was he 106 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.279 fourteen years old? Is that? Yeah? 107 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.759 He was Rick Dorothy's son, was just fourteen when she 108 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:18.759 went missing. 109 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.160 And we're f fifty years later, right, this is fifty 110 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:27.560 years from nineteen seventy five. Yeah, he's sixty four. I 111 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.319 has to have left an indelible mark on his life. 112 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.319 Did he have siblings, do you know? 113 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.759 Yeah, two other brothers, and you know it's very difficult, 114 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.319 you know for them, I mean again, and they still 115 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.199 don't have answers. I mean just think, you know, one 116 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.519 day your mom's there, the next day she's not, and 117 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.879 you have no answers as to like, what happened to her? 118 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.959 Is she coming home? Meanwhile, you still have to continue 119 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.720 going to school, and you know it was obviously it 120 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.399 changed their lives, you know, forever, and to this day 121 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.439 they're still wondering. And that's why the family's offering a 122 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.519 fifty thou read all the reward for any information that 123 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.720 could lead to the recovery of you know, her remains 124 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.839 and the vehicle she was driving, just to get it out. 125 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:15.000 There was a gold nineteen seventy nineteen seventy Ford Maverick 126 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.839 with a black roof. And again, you know, they're hoping 127 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.560 that somebody might have information, somebody might have seen something. 128 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.639 And yeah, so trying. 129 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.040 When I think of this. We're so fortunate to have 130 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.560 you work these cases and report them to us. But 131 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:41.079 when you think about this, she had to have had friends. 132 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.759 I'm sure the police must have investigated. I'm sure there 133 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.800 might have been suspects. But all of that obviously gets 134 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.399 boxed up in a nice little file cabinet somewhere and 135 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.360 gets put away and is not looked at for decades, 136 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.000 and now hopefully maybe some leave will get this going. 137 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.720 Obviously she's not alive, I'm sure, but you talk about closure, 138 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.879 I'm sure that family wants to know what happened to 139 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.639 their mom on that night fifty years ago in which 140 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.959 she probably lost her life. Emily, thanks so much. These stories, 141 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.879 to me are fascinating. I covered crime, not to the 142 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.360 level that you have, but I covered crime as a reporter, 143 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.639 and there are police out there. They want to solve 144 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.279 these cases, they really do. And you would even think 145 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.839 that if somebody did this, you hope that there's a 146 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.440 deathbed confession. You think about things like that. You know, 147 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.480 they get someone really going to die and not you know, say, 148 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.039 you know on their last breath. Look here's what I did. 149 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.320 I regretted it for the rest of my life. I 150 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:52.639 don't know. Humanity is a very complex area to investigate, 151 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.279 but you do it so well. Emily. As always, thanks 152 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.320 so much, thanks so much. 153 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.360 Yeah, thank you, thank you, appreciate it. 154 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.759 Thanks, thanks sticking with this and we'll talk to you soon. 155 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:02.399 Thanks Emily. 156 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.679 Oh all right, we get back. 157 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.919 We're going to talk about a high school high schooler 158 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.720 from Belmont who has developed a senior outreach collaborator high school. 159 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:14.799 This isn't for seniors in high school. This is to 160 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.000 help seniors, people of a certain vintage, to help them 161 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.000 adapt to the world of technology. We will be talking 162 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:25.120 with Libby Zuccarello right after the break and should her 163 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.080 family be proud of her? Where do you hear this story? 164 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.159 It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news Radio. 165 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:40.240 Thanks very much, Madison, We of course are now we're 166 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.080 in summer. Okay. We went from spring last weekend or 167 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.240 late winter, whatever you want to call it, this summer 168 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.240 in a matter of about seventy two hours. And it 169 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.000 couldn't be more appropriate for us to bring back Mark 170 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.200 on Anastasio, who's the coolest. Corner Theater director of Programming. 171 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.600 They have announced their summer twenty twenty five outdoor screening lineup, 172 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.120 And as I look at it, Mark, not only are 173 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.039 there some great movies here, but they're going to be 174 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.679 shown in different locations. How many years now have you 175 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.600 been doing this outdoor screening lineup? I think, if I'm 176 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.200 not mistaken, we talked to you guys about this year ago, 177 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:17.639 did we not. 178 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.000 That's right, Dan, We've been doing outdoor screenings at a 179 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.519 few of these locations for going on ten years now, 180 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.759 and they're pretty remarkable places like the Rose Kennedy Greenway, 181 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:36.360 the Charles Rivers Speedway here in Austin, Brighton Mount Auburn Cemetery, 182 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.320 and the Rocky Woods, which is one of the locations 183 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.960 of the Trustees of Reservations. And each each location we 184 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.039 really try to, you know, play play films that kind 185 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.840 of that kind of bring out where where we're at. 186 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.320 It's it's a lot of fun.

It's it's 195 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.559 a site that we visited. They called us out to 196 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.639 it a decade ago and said, we'd like you to 197 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.320 take a look at this property and let us know 198 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.799 if you can think of any good films that you'd 199 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.799 like to put on here. And it is. It's a 200 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:46.960 lakeside property with a cabin on the lake. And the 201 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.600 minute I set foot on it, I said, you know, 202 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.320 would you be opposed to us playing a couple of 203 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.879 horror movies out here because the location itself, it makes 204 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.120 you feel like you're in one of the Friday the 205 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.840 Thirteenth movies. And luckily they were game for that, and 206 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:06.000 we've Yeah, it's a decade plus us celebrating.

Where is 209 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:12.120 it located? 210 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:17.639 Rocky the Rocky Sure, the Rocky Woods is in Medfield, Massachusetts. Oh, 211 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.440 I know, Okay, Yeah, it's a it's a great it's 212 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:26.000 a great area. It's on Hartford Street in Medfield. It's 213 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.080 it is a little tricky you're gonna have to plug 214 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.360 it into your GPS in order to get there. And 215 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.440 the the screening location itself is set a little ways 216 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.919 up up a road from the parking lot, but we 217 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.679 make sure to put lots of spooky lanterns out to 218 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.279 light the way, to sort of set the mood as 219 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.559 people approach the cabin and where the screen and the 220 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.799 projector are set up. And for these Friday the thirteenth shows, 221 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.120 we even we even hire an actor to dress up 222 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.879 as Jason Vorhees to to scare people as they're they're 223 00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:57.919 coming on to the property. 224 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.080 Let's do this. I want to just give people a 225 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.000 sense of it. So that's Friday the thirteenth, And obviously 226 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.840 they can go to the website, which is like the 227 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:11.600 Coolidge dot org slash type slash outdoor hype and screenies. 228 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:12.360 We'll give that again. 229 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.240 But yeah, no, well they we can. We we can 230 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.600 shorten it. If you just do Coolidge dot org slash outdoor, 231 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.320 it'll take you there, perfect, Okay. 232 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:25.240 So then the following Wednesday, you're doing one of the 233 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.519 Charles River Speedway. I don't want to sound like a 234 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.159 knuckle ahead, but what is the Charles River Speedway? 235 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.639 The Charles River Speedway is a great uh, it's a 236 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:39.480 great revitalized set of buildings. It's it's it's an old 237 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:44.480 racetrack from the late eighteen hundreds and for years it 238 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.000 kind of sat vacant. But in the last five years 239 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.360 or so the property was redone and now there are 240 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.399 all sorts of shops and restaurants and and a wonderful 241 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.120 beer garden run by the folks at Notch Brewery, and 242 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.840 it's it's a great place for people in the neighborhood 243 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:01.759 to hang out and get us. 244 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.360 Is that is that on on Western Avenue. 245 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.200 Yeah, it's right on Western Avenue, right right by the river. 246 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.159 It's right behind well, it's right behind the old WBZ. 247 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:15.240 Well what for me was the old buildings exactly where 248 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.519 Henry's Diner used to. 249 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.559 Be, right, That's that's exactly right. 250 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.840 Okay, now, okay, I never knew it as Charles Rivers 251 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:25.080 speed Well.

These are films. The films that we 254 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.840 play at the Speedway are movies that kind of fit 255 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.879 into our our rewind program that we usually host here 256 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.759 at the theater. These are these are films that people 257 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.799 in their twenties and thirties are nostalgic for, you know, 258 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.080 movies that came out anywhere from like the mid nineties. 259 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.559 You know, there's some eighties films of mid nineties through 260 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.759 the early opts. Is like the Wheelhouse. 261 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.919 So they get to a couple more of these here. 262 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:59.240 We got a blade Runner on the week later, June 263 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.279 twenty fifth at sunset, and that is at the Rose 264 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.919 Kennedy Greenway. Everyone knows where the Rose Kennedy Greenway is downtown, 265 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:11.679 followed by point break again. This is Wednesday, July sixteenth 266 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:17.559 at sunset. Okay, Then July twenty third, at sunset, you 267 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.799 go back to the Charles River Speedway on Western Avenue 268 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.559 for mean Girls. It's just perfect. And then we're gonna 269 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.200 really get a little retro here, and we're gonna go 270 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:35.240 and watch the Blob from nineteen eighty eight August thirteenth 271 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:40.480 on the Greenway. And then we got Twin Peaks fire 272 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:45.120 Walk with Me August twentieth at the Charles River Speedway. 273 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.279 We're getting a lot of Charles River Speedways here. 274 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:48.960 And then yeah, the monthly. 275 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.360 Here's one Cemetery Cinema, The Sweet Hereafter and The Gates 276 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.600 of Heaven, The Coolest Returns Little Spooky to the Mount 277 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.840 Auburn Cemetery twenty sixth. 278 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.759 Yeah, the Mount Auburn we've done. We took a little 279 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.720 bit of a hiatus. There was like a five year 280 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.080 break with us putting on the Cemetery Cinema program. But 281 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.919 there they're a location that we love showing films at 282 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.320 and they are open to showing films that are about grief, 283 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.279 that are about reflections on death. Last year's program was 284 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.600 maybe a little bit more fun. We screened ingmar Bergman's 285 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:31.399 The Seventh Seal and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, both 286 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:36.840 films that feature, you know, personified representations of death. But 287 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:42.720 this year we've got we've got a new restoration. No, no, 288 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.039 it's well, the Bill and Ted film is a comedy, 289 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.240 but you know, we're starting this program for Sweet here After, 290 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.879 followed by Gates of Heaven. Sweet Hereafter is definitely a 291 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.679 somber film that deals with grief and it's an excellent film. 292 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.639 And then we're going to lighten things up by playing 293 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:02.080 Errol Morris's Gates a heaven. Aer Morris a filmmaker from Cambridge, 294 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.799 incredible documentarian. He's allowing us to screen his first film, 295 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.480 Gates of Heaven, which is a film about a pet 296 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.359 cemetery needing to be moved. But it is. It's it's 297 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:19.200 filled with so many wonderful characters reflecting on you know, 298 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.119 how they'd like to have a place to grieve the 299 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.440 loss of their past. It doesn't sound like something that 300 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:27.039 would be heartwarming, but it really is. 301 00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.720 And it should. 302 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.759 It should, it should lighten the mood playing second in 303 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:36.599 the program. But the cemetery is such a gorgeous location 304 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.000 and there's not a lot of folks that are allowed 305 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.440 to do things there after dark. So this is a 306 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.119 really unique opportunity for me. 307 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:44.920 Okay, And then then we're going to finish up. We 308 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.599 got two more, both going to be at the Charles 309 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.160 River Speedway on Western Avenue across from where Henry's Diner 310 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.920 used to be. Teen Age Ninja Turtles a favorite of 311 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.559 my son back when he was about three years old 312 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:01.759 for several years. And then that is September seventeenth, and 313 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.519 on Wednesday, October fifteenth, I Know what you did last summer. 314 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.240 That's also at the Charles River Speedway. So it looks 315 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.920 to me like everything at the Childs River Speedway is Wednesdays. 316 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.400 A lot of these are middle of the week. There's 317 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.119 none that I can see that any of them are 318 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.799 on the only Friday the thirteenth. Others it's the middle 319 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.279 of the week, which means it's great you can go 320 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.759 and have a lot of fun and enjoy movies. I'm 321 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.599 going to ask the tough question, are these free? Are 322 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.519 they these? Are these free movies or is there most 323 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:32.759 of them? 324 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.279 Let's see, there are charges for the Friday the thirteenth 325 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.960 program and for the program at Mount Auburn Cemetery. Those 326 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.640 are ticketed streams, but everything else we've talked about is 327 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.480 completely free. 328 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.759 And let's have the website one more time, the most 329 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.279 important part of our conversation. We've had a lot of 330 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.279 fun telling people what they are going to see, How 331 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.599 can they make sure they get there? What is the website? 332 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.960 They can just go to coolidge dot org, slash Outdoors perfect. 333 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.279 And we are exactly finished, almost to the second of 334 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.960 where where we were supposed to finish. And we got 335 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.920 a lot in, which is great. We got a lot in. 336 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.240 Thank you so much, Dan Oh my pleasure.

Now, look, 369 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.839 we've never talked before as far as I'm as far 370 00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:07.240 as I know, correct. 371 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.400 Correct, yep, okay, And I don't. 372 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:12.480 Want to be impertinent because I have to ask you 373 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:16.079 a very awkward question, even though this is a conversation. 374 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.440 What's your favorite donut? Oh? 375 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.039 My favorite donut. It's hard to pick just one, but 376 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:24.960 I love a blueberry donut. 377 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:29.480 Oh, that's excellent. I'm a glaze stick guy from duncan myself, 378 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.559 and I'm not even sure if a glaze stick qualifies 379 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:33.359 as a donut. 380 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.680 So I might you know what, We're open to all 381 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.759 kinds of donuts. 382 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.160 Well I am as well. Trust me this never I've 383 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:43.039 never really had a donut that I didn't like. So 384 00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.880 tell us about is this an annual effort by the 385 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.200 Salvation Army and is it being done justin Cambridge? You're 386 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.400 across the commonwealth. Tell us the extent of this effort. 387 00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:58.039 Yeah, this has been going on since nineteen thirty eight, 388 00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.319 when the Salvation Nowmy established National Old Donut Day. And 389 00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.440 so it doesn't just happen in Cambridge, Boston or Massachusetts. 390 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.880 That happens all over the nation. And so we are 391 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:10.200 excited to celebrate the donut I mean every day, but 392 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.119 specifically on Donut Day. 393 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:17.200 Okay, So for example, now give us an idea about 394 00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:22.720 how many different locations will the Salvation Army in Cambridge 395 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.640 cover tomorrow. You've got fire stations, police stations. I know 396 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.680 that firefighters and police officers and people joke about it, 397 00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.119 but the reason that they love donuts is because you 398 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:35.680 know they never know where they're going to be called 399 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:37.279 into action. When you get a chance to have a 400 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:39.559 cup of coffee and a donut, particularly in the winter time. 401 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.480
