Another served for much of the past decade and became a vocal supporter of some previously less heralded topics, such a civic engagement and the arts. A third took up the mantle of promoting and preserving what has become a growing issue of concern – energy effi ciency and sustainability – and made it a leading light of his two City Council terms. On December 21, three Malden City Councillors made their fi nal appearances behind the rostrum: longtime Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson, Ward 6 Councillor David Camell and Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria. All three Councillors announced earlier this year they would not seek reelection this past fall. Anderson, who was fi rst elected in 1983, served as a City Councillor in parts of fi ve diff erent decades, a total of 14 terms and 28 years. He was on the City Council for parts of the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and now, just into the 2020s. Camell was first elected in a special election as Ward 6 City Councillor to fi ll an unexpired term, then reelected in 2017 and again in 2019.

As Phase Two of the ARTLine begins, Malden Arts is grateful to Senator Jason Lewis, who had state funds set aside for this project, Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria, who generously provided additional funding for the sculpture and the bench, and to Representative Paul Donato, who was instrumental in working with the MBTA. A New England artist was chosen for the sculpture and the bench out of applicants from Phase One of the ARTLine. He is Thomas Berger from Kittery, Maine. Both pieces will be made of local granite and feature implanted mosaics of blues set flush into a fish sculpture, a wave bench and a mosaic pool. Fish and water are powerful symbols of interconnectedness in many cultures throughout human history. Malden Arts will be putting out a Call to Artists seeking contributions from local poets and artists for a mural to honor the victims of COVID. Malden resident Lisa Sears has coordinated two exhibits that invited artists to create visual depictions of work by local poets.

State and local police were both on the scene as well as fire and other emergency apparatus immediately after the serious accident, which demolished a car at around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, December 24. The crash came when the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle and it slammed into a tree at one of area's busiest intersections, Fellsway East and Salem Street in Medford, less than 150 feet from the Malden-Medford city line. Police did not release the identities of the injured persons so it was unable to be determined what their medical conditions may have been by press time. The driver of the motor vehicle pictured above struck a tree at the corner of Fellsway East and Salem Street near the Malden/ Medford line on Friday, December 24. According to sources, one or two people were hospitalized with serious injuries. (Photo by Michael Layhe)

This work would not have been possible without the commitment of the MBTA’s world-class staff of transit professionals and the leadership of our municipal partners. We thank TransitCenter for this prestigious honor.” The MBTA, City of Boston, neighbors, and advocates celebrated the launch of Columbus Avenue’s transformative, center-running bus priority corridor last month. The nearly milelong center-running bus priority facility between Franklin Park and Jackson Square Station includes enhanced bus stop amenities, accessible boarding islands, traffi c calming measures, and improved pedestrian safety treatments. In order to realize service benefi ts for bus riders during COVID-19, the project’s construction was accelerated through the MBTA’s Rapid Response Bus Lane program, A Route 455 bus travels along the new shared bus-bike lane on North Common St in Lynn, which was completed in partnership with the City of Lynn in 2021. which also included over 10 miles of bus lanes in communities hard-hit by the pandemic throughout the metropolitan area. “Boston and the MBTA are increasingly seen as national leaders when it comes to putting transit fi rst on city streets,” said TransitCenter Executive Director David Bragdon. “From the Columbus Ave. center-running corridor to the dozens of bus lane projects that have launched in the last couple of years, we applaud MBTA’s and Metro Boston’s municipalities’ commitment to equitable mobility in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Other bus lane projects that the MBTA completed, in partnership with local municipalities, in 2021 included parts of Broadway in Revere, North Washington Street in Boston, and North Common Street in Lynn. Other projects that will be completed imminently or in early 2022 include segments along Western Avenue in Lynn, Washington Street in Somerville, Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Washington Street in Brookline, and Centre Street in Malden. “We are proud to have partnered with the MBTA on Columbus Ave., North Washington Street, and Washington Street in Roslindale throughout 2021,” said Boston Transportation Department (BTD) Interim Commissioner Brad Gerratt.

Our hope is that this will become another cherished location along the ARTLine – joining the Ed Emberley mural and “Spirit in the Sky” mural on Exchange Street; the bike sculpture, bench and mural on Canal Street; and the Frank Stella mural and the train murals on Centre Street. Malden Arts is particularly grateful to Councillor DeMaria, not only for her generous contribution to this project, but also for her energy, wisdom and heart in her work as City Councillor for the past 10 years. She AWARD | FROM PAGE 4 “We look forward to working closely with the MBTA, our regional transit provider, to deliver more improvements on local city streets. This recognition is a testimony to the collaboration we have built together.” “We are thrilled to see the MBTA and its municipal partners acknowledged for this work given how far we’ve come in a few short years,” said LivableStreets Executive Director Stacy Thompson. LivableStreets is a transportation advocacy organization based in Boston. “Back in 2018, there were just over two miles of bus lanes in Boston, and now, there are more than 17 miles stretching from Roslindale Square to North Common Street in Lynn.

I lost a very good friend and a bottomless resource for my articles. His mom Denise misses him dearly – every minute of every day. I thought I would revisit the tribute to Frankie’s life that I ran when he passed. It came from the heart. He knew more about the history of Malden than you and I – and just about anybody else – but he was much more than a walking/talking encyclopedia of Malden knowledge. Oh, yes, he was – antique collector, music lover, good time enthusiast, fashion plate, “Old Y Guy” and, of course, raconteur (just a few labels Frank would have enjoyed seeing applied to him in print). He was also my pally. Not like he was pallys with Marty Gately and the “Round Table Gang of Four,” but I considered myself a “Friend of Frank” nonetheless – a sweetheart of a guy who endeared himself to me many years ago at the old YMCA, where we shared many a steam and whirlpool together as part of our “Steve Caiazzo Businessman’s Workout” regimen (old Y guys will get that). So, you could have knocked me down with an empty 16 ounce can of Ballantine Ale when Anthony Spadafora informed me that Frankie Russell had “left the building.” It did not seem possible. But sadly, it did seem possible. Odd because I quote(d) him in a soon to be released article; the article that I quoted him in will have printed before this article sees daylight. Funny, I was worried because the quote he sent me needed a little “work.” He rambled on a bit (which he never did), so I had to clean it up for readership consumption. I was concerned that he would be disappointed that I hacked his contribution up a little for it to make more sense. Not to sound glib, but as the old Mad Magazine saying goes, “What, me worry?” Frank had a great sense of humor and would have seen the humor in that last statement. Which brings me back to Frankie. One of the key elements in the novel “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë is passion versus restraint; “reason sits fi rm and holds the reins...the passions may rage... but judgment shall still have the last word.” I am not talking out MALDEN: TODAY| SEE PAGE 20 419 BROADWAY.

The strong opposition voiced by Saugus and Chelsea municipal leaders was the only formal stance taken over the fall period where Northeast representatives, including Northeast Superintendent David DiBarri, spent most of the month of October visiting the legislative bodies of the various sending districts. That means that while two communities, through their elected offi cials, opposed the project – 10 did not. When Supt. DiBarri and his consultant addressed the Malden City Council on October 12, a number of Councillors had plenty of questions regarding the project, which, if completed, would be one of the highest priced new schools in Massachusetts history. However, none of the Malden elected offi cials voiced opposition to the new school proposal. In fact, several were eff usive in their comments regarding past history and dealings with Northeast Metro Tech and their support for the future. The project includes the largAn artist’s rendering of the new library at Northeast Metro Tech, which would be one of the highlights of the many new additions to be included in the $317.4 million new high school facility. est fi gure for state aid through the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) ever granted, a total of $140.8 million. That leaves $176.3 million, which would have to be funded by the 12 sending districts.

With his 28 years, Anderson may be the longest serving Councillor in municipal history. On Dec. 21, Anderson, who served as City Council President for the fifth time in his lengthy tenure, was specially feted with appearances from his family members and others from the public who spoke before the meeting, and again at the conclusion of the meeting, by some of his colleagues. Councillors Camell and DeMaria also spoke briefly near the conclusion of the meeting, expressing their thanks to both their colleagues and constituents over the years. “I have taken a lot of inspiration from everyone on this Council; we have not always agreed on everything, but I’ve tried to listen to everybody whether we agree or not,” Camell said. Everyone’s heart is in the right place, trying to take care of the residents. It’s been both a pleasure and a challenge, having faced things I never would have thought of facing as a Councillor.” “For the last 10 years I woke up every day excited to represent Malden; not too many people can say that about their job,” Councillor DeMaria said. “Even in divisive times, working toward solutions is both exhausting, invigorating but always rewarding. There has been immense growth in Malden in the past 10 years, and I am happy I have [played] a role in helping shape Malden for the future. “Being a Councillor-at-Large has been the experience of a lifetime,” DeMaria added. Anderson said, “I really feel honored to have served on the City Council. I haven’t regretted a moment and have enjoyed working with all of the City Councillors I have served with through the years.” “I am grateful that the citizens of Ward 7 in Malden have continued to elect me. The employees of the City of Malden and the manager, the rank-andfile make this a great city and make our jobs so much easier to serve the city of Malden,” Anderson added. Anderson recalled the many events he had hosted through the years, such as Easter and Christmas parades through Neal Anderson City Council President Ward 7 as well as the Fourth of July events, and how his family members played intricate roles in making them a success. “Aren’t we all so fortunate to have such a caring community to serve with citizens who show so much compassion for each other,” Councillor Anderson said. Then he banged the gavel. “For the last time!” Anderson said, “Happy Holidays.” To recall and hear all of the comments at the Dec. 21 meeting visit the following link: https://www.youtube.com/ channel/UCsBndjZYjyyWcmO5-yr3n0w **** Malden’s 2022 Inaugural Ceremonies set for Mon., Jan. 3 at Jenkins Auditorium, MHS The City of Malden has anThe Jenkins Auditorium at Malden High School will be the site for the 2022 City of Malden Inaugural Ceremonies where members of the Malden City Council and Malden School Committee – recently elected or reelected in November – will be sworn into office for two-year terms. nounced that the 2022 Inaugural Ceremonies will take place on Monday, January 3 at 6:00 p.m. at Malden High School’s Jenkins Auditorium (77 Salem St.).

COVID has taken its toll on all Americans these past two years - no question about it. But councillor DeMaria, this to me, as a taxpayer, looks likes grandstanding on your way out.At some point in time, this should be revisited, yes; but not now.Malden Art's vice-president Candace Julyan needs to put the brakes on this until such time a board of volunteers can convene and come up with another plan. Again, this is too soon to move forward, so I ask ARTLine, as a taxpayer of the city of Malden, to please hold off on this COVID memorial until a later time. Signed, Kevin Larson Malden resident

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the number of times in the 2021 session each senator sided with Republican Gov. Charlie Baker and voted to sustain the governor’s 25 vetoes of items, mostly in the fi scal 2022 state budget. A vote to sustain means the senator supports Baker’s veto. A vote to override means the senator voted to fund the item despite the governor’s veto. The current makeup of the Senate is 36 Democrats, three Republicans and one vacant seat. A two-thirds vote is required to override a gubernatorial veto in a full 40-member Senate when there are no vacancies. The governor needs the support of 14 senators to sustain a veto if all 40 senators voted—and fewer votes if some members are absent or there are vacancies. Baker fell far short of that goal as six votes was the most support he received on any veto. The Senate easily overrode all 25 vetoes, including fi ve that were overridden unanimously. The vetoes had no support from 30 of the 36 Democrats who never once voted to sustain Baker’s veto. Only six Democratic senators voted to sustain any of the governor’s vetoes. The Democrat who voted the most times with Baker to sustain his veto is Sen. Walter Timilty (D-Milton) who voted with Baker four times. Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton) voted with Baker twice. Sens. Sonia ChangDíaz (D-Boston), Diana DiZoglio (D-Methuen), Jason Lewis (D-Winchester) and Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) each voted with Baker once. None of the three Republicans voted with Baker 100 percent of the time. The Republican senator who voted the greatest number of times with Baker was Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) who voted with Baker 17 times (68.0 percent of the time). Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) voted with Baker only fi ve times (20.0 percent), the least number of times among Republicans. Even Republican Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) only supported Baker 14 times (56.0 percent). TORS SUPPORTED GOV. BAKER’S VETOES IN 2021 Here is how your senator fared in his or her support of Baker on the vetoes. The percentage next to the senator’s name represents the percentage of times the senator supported Baker. The number in parentheses represents the actual number of times the senator supported Baker. Sen. Jason Lewis 4.0 percent (1) HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of December 20-24, the House met for a total of one hour and 10 minutes and the Senate each met for a total of one hour and one minute. 24 minutes. Mon.

The current MMMNA is $2,177.50. Assume a husband is going into a nursing home and his combined monthly pension and social security income is $3,000. Ordinarily, his patient pay amount (PPA), the amount of his monthly income that would have to be paid to the nursing home each month, would be $2,727.20, which results from subtracting the personal needs allowance that MassHealth allows him to keep each month of $72.80 and his monthly health insurance premiums of $200 from $3,000.00. If his wife only has social security income of $750 per month, MassHealth will reallocate $1,427.50 of his monthly income to her to bring her up to the MMMNA figure of $2,177.50. Therefore, the actual amount the husband will pay to the nursing home each month will instead be $1,299.70. In addition to the MMMNA designed to provide a minimum amount of income to the spouse who stays at home and still needs to pay the house bills, food shopping bills, etc., Medicaid law also provides for a certain amount of otherwise countable assets to be kept in his or her name. That amount is currently set at $130,380. The spouse in the nursing home can only have $2,000 of countable assets in his or her name. Any excess assets must be spent on nursing home care unless steps are taking to protect those assets for the spouse at home to avoid his or her being impoverished. What are some of the steps that can be taken? Certainly, funds should be set aside towards irrevocable funeral contracts, cemetery plot and other expenses associated with your funeral arrangements. A separate “burial” account in the amount of $1,500 can be established at your bank for each spouse. Although this is not a large amount of money, it would still serve to fund a collation for the family after the funeral service for each of the spouses. A Medicaid annuity can be purchased in the name of the spouse who remains at home thereby providing him or her with additional monthly income to help pay for monthly bills. The annuity contract must be irrevocable, non-assignable and non-commutable. This strategy essentially converts countable assets that would otherwise be required to be spent down on nursing home care into a lifetime income stream for the spouse who stays at home. Furthermore, there is no five-year look back period concern as transfers between spouses are not disqualifying transfers. It is always a good idea to plan ahead. However, there are last minute planning opportunities available depending upon the unique circumstances applicable to a particular family. Joseph D.

MVRCS downed Northeast 91-61 and outscored the Cougars, 97-68. Against Northeast, freshman Adrian Chang started the individual events and the first Eagles 1-2-3 finish in the 200 freestyle; coming in second and third were Junior Daniel Nguyen and eighth-grader Isabelle Pennachio. Junior Ramy El-Aafer continued in the 200 individual medley (IM) with a first-place finish and lifetime best in the event. Coming in second and third were freshmen Thomas Sodeyama-Cardoso and Lana Santos-Albuquerque. In the 50 freestyle, sophomore Jason Yan took top honors; junior Jeremy Cheng was first in the 100 freestyle, breaking the 50-second barrier, and freshman Jayden Anthony continued his phenomenal start as an Eagle by winning the 500 freestyle. The Eagle relays continued to excel and improve, achieving either a state or sectional cut on both the boy’s and girl’s sides in the 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relays and the 400 freestyle relay. Through the first three meets, all relays on both sides have gained state cuts; individually six Eagles have already stamped their ticket to the state meet. Starting off the meet in home waters against Austin Prep, the Eagles medley relay of Cheng, Anthony, freshman Kevin Sodeyama-Cardoso and junior Armando Indresano took first, and the team of eighth-grader Dylan Phan, senior Matthew Loue, Thomas Sodeyama-Cardoso and Nguyen took third. In the next event, the 200 freestyle, Aiden Acuna, swimming in his first meet this year, absolutely obliterated the competition to a state cut time of 1:50.40 to win the event. Aiden’s time is also a top three time in the history of Mystic Valley swimming. Chang came in third with a lifetime best, and Santos-Albuquerque came in fourth in another lifetime best. In the 200 IM, Yan continued a great start to the season, winning in a state cut time of 2:12.05. Cheng tacked on firstplace finishes in the 100 butterfly and the 100 breaststroke; his breaststroke time was another state cut for Jeremy. Armando Indresano added two wins in the 50 and 100 freestyles, both in state cuts. In the 500 freestyle, junior Aiden Acuna-Rosa flew out to an over 30-second lead on the field in a state cut of 5:00.87, his second fastest swim ever. “I couldn’t ask for a better way to finish the first couple of weeks of the season; every swimmer came out to win today and it was a total team effort. The veterans on this team truly stepped up to the plate today as we can see with Jeremy, Aiden and Armando’s swims. Aiden particularly came out fast being it was his first swims of the year due to illness keeping him out of the first three meets.

Looking to bounce back from a road loss and build off of their defense, they came out aggressive in the early going. The game plan to get the ball inside to their captain senior Mairead St. Clair (6 pts., 8 rebounds and 3 blocks) and play an in-and-out game worked to a 12-8 first quarter advantage.

By: Craig Spadafora, Chair Malden City Council Ordinance a y avvy S iorenniiooro a avvyavvy Dear Overwhelmed, There’s a wide array of housing options available to seniors, but what’s appropriate for your mom will depend on her needs and fi nancial situation. Here’s a rundown of the diff erent levels of senior housing and some resources to help you choose one. Independent living: If your mom is in relatively good health and self-suffi cient, “independent living communities” are a top option that can off er a sense of community. Typically available to people over age 55, this type of senior housing is usually apartments or town homes that are fully functional. In addition, many communities also off er amenities such as meals served in a common dining area, housekeeping, transportation and a variety of social activities. To locate this type of housing, contact your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 to get your local number), or use an online search tool like Caring.com. Most of these communities are private pay only and can vary greatly in cost ranging anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000 per month. Assisted living: If your mom needs some help with daily living chores, she’ll probably need an “assisted living facility.” These facilities provide help with the activities of daily living – like bathing, dressing, eating, going to the bathroom – as needed, as well as meals, housekeeping, transportation, social activities and medication management. Many facilities also off er special “memory care units” for residents with dementia. Costs for assisted living usually run between $3,000 and $6,000 per month depending on location and services needed. Most residents pay for assisted living from personal funds, while some have long-term care insurance policies. And many state Medicaid programs today also cover some assisted living costs for fi - nancially eligible residents. Another similar, but less expensive option to look into is “board and care homes.” These off er many of the same services as assisted living facilities but in a much smaller home setting. Your Area Aging Agency is again a good resource for fi nding assisted living facilities and board care homes, as is Caring.com. Nursing homes: If your mom needs ongoing medical and personal care or has very limited mobility, a nursing home, which provides 24-hour skilled nursing care is the next option. To fi nd a good one, use Medicare’s nursing home compare tool at Medicare. gov/care-compare. This tool will not only help you locate nursing homes in your area, it also provides a 5-star rating system on recent health inspections, staffi ng, quality of care, and overall rating. But be aware that nursing home care is very expensive, costing anywhere between $4,500 and $13,000 per month for a semi-private room depending on where you live. Most residents pay from either personal funds, a long-term care insurance policy or through Medicaid after their savings are depleted. Continuing-care retirement communities (CCRC’s): If your mom has the fi nancial resources, a “CCRC” is another option that provides all levels of housing (independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing home care) in one convenient location. But these communities typically require a hefty entrance fee that can range from $20,000 to $500,000 or more, plus ongoing monthly service fees that vary from around $2,000 to over $4,000. To search for CCRC’s visit Caring.com. Need Help? If you’re not sure what your mom needs, consider hiring an aging life care expert (AgingLifeCare.org) who can assess your mom and fi nd her appropriate housing for a fee – usually between $300 and $800. Or you can use a senior care advising service like A Place for Mom (APlaceForMom.com) for free. They get paid from the senior living facilities in their network. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book. iori n r by Jim Miller Deciphering Senior Housing Options Dear Savvy Senior, Can you decipher the diff erent types of housing options available to seniors, and recommend some good resources for locating them? I need to fi nd a place for my elderly mother and could use some help. Overwhelmed Daughter

Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 31, 2021 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 of school when I say that Frank was not a perfect human being. Who is? I am going to miss that huge personality and the Frankie Russell swagger – the biting wit in those emails letting me know when I got it wrong – and the ones I really looked forward to, the times I got it right. Frankie was a good guy, by no means faultless. But then again none of us are. No matter, death leaves a huge hole regardless. I know you “can’t put your arms around a memory,” so from the bottom of my heart, Frankie, I will miss you. Speaking of Marty Gately, he was one of the first people I reached out to when I heard the news. Marty and Frank were friends. They shared the good, the bad and the ugly in life together as friends always do. Marty is a guy I have always respected, and I really appreciated him taking some time to speak Frank Russell with me: “Frank was, fi rst and foremost, a very intelligent man (1985 Malden High School grad, BA in history from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a Juris Doctorate from Suff olk University Law School). He is a past president of the Malden Historical Society, served as Assistant City Solicitor for both Somerville and Malden, led his own law practice for 19 years, held a leadership position on the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, was on the Board of Directors for both the Monsignor Neagle Apartments and Malden Chamber of Commerce, and he was a lector at Immaculate Conception Parish. Like I said, a very intelligent man. “Frank and I had a lot of good times together, including working out at the legendary Malden YMCA Men’s Health Club when the Health Club at the old Y was ground zero in Malden for both working out and perfecting the ‘art of the deal.’ Frank was very active in local politics. He was elected to the Malden School Committee and worked on many local campaigns including mine when I fi rst ran for offi ce. He was even able to get the true superstar of the family, his wonderful mother Denise, to host my fi rst campaign coff ee party. He had an unbelievable amount of knowledge and passion for politics and for the history of the city he loved so much, Malden. I am positive that he could have written his magnum opus, the critically acclaimed ‘An Early History of Malden’ solely from memory. Without the help of crib notes for sure. “I will always remember Frank as a core member of what we called the ‘Round Table.’ The Round Table was a joking reference to the Algonquin Round Table of the 1920’s led by writer Dorothy Parker. In the early 1990’s, every Friday, myself, Frank, Sean Lucey, and Keith Swerdlick (who at the time was REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 LYTES, GERALD M MAJUMDER, BOSUDEB HE, JUCONG IQBAL, TABISH DUTRA-XAVIER, DEBORA XU, XIAOLI XAVIER, JOELISSON F BUYER2 SELLER1 SIMARD, KEVIN R DASILVA, FABIANO F CHIN, BENJAMIN RAMIREZ, LUIS A T W 2 RT SELLER2 SIMARD, KIMBERLY SHEA VIRGINIA H EST SHEA, JOHN M an aide to Mayor Ed Lucey) and a revolving cast of local characters would meet for the lunch buffet at Anthony’s on Canal Street. The tables were round, which was important to Frank, who was always a stickler for detail. The conversation was always lively. Frank would always show up impeccably dressed. Which is something that was never once said about the rest of us. In the summertime, he would wear his trademark seersucker suit. Winter, spring, summer, or fall he would keep us entertained with his biting wit and that Frankie Russell charisma. The future stretched out in front of each one of us but fi rst Friday afternoons at the Round Table. Frank embraced that challenge (and life in general) with a deep passion. The good, the bad, and the ugly. His love for life, his love for and knowledge of Malden and its history, and his friendship will be sorely missed.” Postscript: If you do not have Frank Russell’s book “An Early History of Malden” (still available online, by the way) then as card-carrying Maldonians, you should. Frank’s love aff air with Malden is evident within the pages of this book. I picked it up when it fi rst hit the “local bookstore” and could not put it down. It literally had to be pried from my gnarly hands by my grandson Christian. In the book Frankie goes waaay back! From Michael “Mr. Sunshine” Wigglesworth’s Colonial era “best seller” “Day of Doom” right up to the Woman’s Suff rage Movement and Malden’s greatest citizen, Elisha Converse (Elisha being the Malden equivalent of Hans Sprungfeld, aka Jebediah Obadiah Zachariah Jedediah Springfi eld, the purported fictional founder of the town of Springfi eld on “The Simpsons”). An amazing amount of detail went into this book. Frank outdid himself with his farewell tome. Thank you for that, Frank.
