NEW MIKE MATARAZZO ~ www.eight10barandgrille.com ~ B Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – Peter Myles retires By Peter F. Levine reaking news...He’s played in your favorite local pub band since you can remember. He’s also your favorite drummer from Malden of all time. Mine also! Since his early teens he’s probably played at a high school dance you attended, or your wedding, perhaps, or maybe you saw him when his bands played regularly at the Saint Rocco Feast (we’ll get him back, someday). He’s also one of the most popular, most beloved, and most respected mail carriers Malden has ever had. No bull. Still going strong, by the way. He’s Peter Myles and he is retiring from the USPS after 35 years – with his sanity still intact – believe it or not! Congratulations, my friend! I asked Peter to comment on his retirement. Like the classy guy that he is, this is his classy statement: “Lots of things go through my mind thinking about my career working for the Postal Service for over 35 years. Mr. Rogers used to say mail carriers are people in your neighborhood. When you have your own route and you’ve been there for a few years you really get to know your customers and the neighborhood they live in. Sometimes you know more than you’re comfortable knowing. Sometimes you’re the only one your customer sees all day, so you make sure they are all right even if it’s a simple hello through the window. You are part of what’s going on in people’s lives even if it’s in a very small way. You share hapPeter Myles OUR DOORS ARE OPEN The PETER A. ROSSETTI INSURANCE AGENCY would like to thank our customers for their patience and loyalty during these challenging times. We are happy to announce our office is now open to the public, but we will continue to practice social distancing and requiring masks. For those of you who are not familiar with our agency, now is a good time to come in and meet our staff. Hope to see you soon! 436 Lincoln Ave, Saugus * (781) 233-1855 * www.rossettiinsurance.com piness and grief with your customers who after many years seem more like friends. Most of all I know my customers depend on my consistent service and friendly attitude day in and day out. It’s not an easy job and as an ‘on the job instructor’ for 25 years I can tell you that no one ever overestimates how hard the job is or the demands of working outdoors through all kinds of weather. The job got me through to this part of my life with security from my fi rst day to my last which is coming up in about seven weeks. I made some great friendships and learned many lessons in life dealing with customers from different walks of life and diff erent cultures. I certainly know the streets of Malden now, laugh out loud.” It is said in Malden today, tomorrow and yesterday… Mike and Gloria Craven – 39 years of wedded bliss this November. Congratulations, my friend. Breaking news! Not one, but two movie shoot locations are being considered for Malden. One is a Paul Giamatti fi lm, the other another movie on the (self-confessed) “Boston Strangler,” Albert DeSalvo. I want to personally thank Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica for the moment of silence she called for my late father at the last City Council meeting. It meant a great deal to me and my family. You made friends for life with that gesture, Ms. Sica. Wait, you already were our friend for life! How cool was Mayor Gary Christenson’s “Vax Man” Halloween costume at the “Malden Chamber’s Downtown Trick-OrTreat” extravaganza last week? Loved yours also, Paul “Father Time?” Hammersley! I always stop for a moment at Andrea Giannattasio’s headstone at Forestdale Cemetery; “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone?” – 1957-1975. Malden Police Office Mike Powell was recently promoted to lieutenant. Congratulations, Lt. Powell. Congratulations also for having one of the best mustaches I have seen on a police offi cer, maybe ever. Please don’t forget the Mal
