THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2025 Page 11 ~ OP-ED ~ Revere History Museum — Community Leaders Thank You O n Sunday, December 8th the Revere History Museum threw its doors open to the public for its annual Holiday Gathering. This event marked the end of a long period of renovations and showcased a revitalized space that displays the history and culture of our great city. The Revere Society for Cultural and Historical Preservation owes a great many thanks to a great many people who made this event possible. This lengthy period of renovations spanned two mayoral administrations, and we thank both Mayor Patrick Keefe and his predecessor Mayor Brian Arrigo for believing that the museum is worth investing in. Without their belief in what the museum represents, none of this would have been possible. Students from Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School spent almost two years learning on the job while they performed the renovations, which included rewiring the building and revamping the HVAC system. We thank the students, their teachers, Superintendent David DiBarri, Director of Career and Technical Education John O’Brien, and Revere’s Northeast Metro Tech School Committee representative Anthony Caggiano for their eff orts. Members of Revere’s Department of Public Works, including Chris Bruker and Sam Ruiz, came in to paint the exhibit rooms, move large display cases into place, and fi nish off various projects. We thank them, along with DPW Superintendent Chris Ciaramella and his predecessor Paul Argenzio, for their hard work. St. Mary’s High School Term 1 honors lists for Revere students S t.

She oversaw the project, wrote grant proposals, and spent many days at the museum working while the renovations went on around her. She has always been a believer in the museum and we thank her for everything she has done to help our cause. Former RSCHP President Bob Upton was also vitally important to the renovation process. Few people have put as much time and eff ort into preserving the history of Revere as he has and we thank him for all that he has done. As the renovations wound down RSCHP’s Director of Museum Operations Toby Pearlstein and her crew of volunteers, particularly Dottie and Jerry Foley, Rhea Heaven, Janet Long, Janice Erlandson, Kathy Milligan, Deryl Santosuosso, Julie Finn, and Victoria Natoli, began to put in long hours reestablishing the museum’s irreplaceable artifacts in the exhibit spaces. Local artist Todd Gieg devoted himself to restoring the “Revere Beach 1954” diorama on the museum’s second fl oor. Many visitors on the 8th were deeply impressed by their eff orts, and we thank them for making the exhibit rooms look spectacular. RSCHP received donations from Ward 4 Councilor Paul Argenzio, Councilor at Large Anthony Zambuto, and State Representative Jeffrey Rosario Turco which helped us put on the Holiday event. We thank them for their generosity. Many other benefactors, including State Representative Jessica Giannino, have been looking out for the museum’s interests over the renovation period and we thank them as well. We want to thank the family and friends of Edward A. Sasso, who made our event even more special. Finally, we would like to thank everyone who came through the museum’s doors on the 8th. If you bought an ornament, signed up to become an RSCHP member, or simply enjoyed the exhibits, you made us feel like all the hard work was worth it. On behalf of everyone at RSCHP, thank you!!!
