And of course, Jackson is in my Malden Mount Rushmore Hall of Fame. Postscript 1: Speaking of Harvey Nadler... back in 2017 I chronicled his 1958 trip to New York City with his dad Sam and his once in a lifetime meeting with legendary boxer Jack Dempsey at “Jack Dempsey’s Broadway Bar” at 1619 Broadway. Harvey’s dad bragged that he knew “The Manassa Mauler” and ya know what? He did! They walk into the bar and Jack greets Sam with a bear hug and a loud “hiya pal” greeting. Jack asks young pup Harvey what he would like. Little 13-yearold Harvey replies, “B.L.T. and a Coke.” True story. Postscript 2: By the way Harevents. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16: Varsity Golf vs. Somerville, Woburn Country Club, 3:30 p.m.; Varsivey Nadler is not just another pretty face, he also has an encyclopedic mind for useful and, at times, useless information. He loves singing karaoke, playing the ponies, socializing with any female he meets and bantering with fellow I.A.C.C. and A.O.H. members. He may have the tiniest hands I’ve ever shook for such a storied athlete, but he has the best taste in music for a 78-year-old geezer! I’ve become a Nancy Wilson fan since Harvey put her on my musical radar map. Thank you, Mr. Nadler, and zay gezunt.

This legislation dismantles archaic legal barriers to basic parenting responsibilities for modern families, enabling all parents to legally attend and make decisions during medical appointments, manage a child’s finances, participate in educational decisions and provide authorizations for a child’s travel. On August 8, Governor Maura Healey signed the Massachusetts Parentage Act into law as Chapter 166 of the Acts of 2024. “All parents and families should have the same parenting rights and protections, regardless of the gender identity or sexual orientation of the parents or the use of assisted reproduction,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m proud that Massachusetts continues to be a safe and welcoming place for all families MASSACHUSETTS | SEE PAGE 19
