Third, the putting money on the statue thing has been going on for years. It is not sacrilegious. The people like doing it. If they didn’t it wouldn’t be done. Lastly, if you do not like St. Rocco’s, stay the hell away! Thank you.” • Rude Police Offi cer “On Wednesday, Aug 30, I was driving down Salem Street in heavy traffi c and I noticed one police offi cer who swore at me and gave me the fi nger while he was conducting traffi c. Now they wonder why people have attitudes towards the police offi cers in Malden, especially when small children are involved. Something should be done! Thank you.” • Leash your Dogs “I just want to say dog owners should keep their dogs on a leash. One time a dog was chasing me, and the owner called its name, and it didn’t even listen. Please, keep your dogs on the leash! Thank you.” As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character ‘Columbo’ would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – in 1986 I took public transportation into Harvard Square and purchased, at the Harvard Book Store, a fi rst edition hardcover copy of “A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.” It’s been devoured cover to cover over the years and is somewhat dog-eared at this point, but is still on the top shelf of my bookcase. I revisit it from time to time but always on that special day in January, MLK’s birthday. I go directly to page 289 on that date and have another go at his epic 1963 essay “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” His “open letter” to eight “liberal” clergymen from Alabama who disagreed with his methods is a wonder (pleasure) to behold. Inspiring, breathtaking prose culminating in this dagger of a closing paragraph: “Let us hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will pass away, and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our feardrenched communities and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty. Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood, Martin Luther King Jr.” Postscript 1: All hail the greatest actress/entertainer of her time, the late, great Raquel Welch! From “One Million Years B.C.” to “Kansas City Bomber” to “Mother, Jugs & Speed” – Raquel could do it all! From her 1965 album, “I’m Ready to Groove” to her 1978 “Muppet Show” appearance – she proved time and again her versatility as an entertainer – like nobody before her (or after)! Postscript 2: My father, Solomon, aka Zulick, wore his Star of David proudly right up until his last day on mother earth. A voracious reader, he had a saying after scanning the obituaries; noting the passing of yet another landsman, he’d say to nobody in particular, “We lost another friend today.” Zulick, we lost another friend today.... rest in peace, “Adolfo Kaminsky, 97, forger who saved thousands of Jews in France.” —Peter is a longtime Malden resident and a regular contributor to The Malden Advocate.
