Adults in safe areas were aware of the death and destruction of a world conflict. They read the papers and listened to the latest reports on the radio. They knew of the millions killed and billions who suffered. However, those in the war zones knew death and rampant destruction. People under 80 years old today don’t know what a world war requires, and I and your other elders hope that they never have to find out. Author and lighthouse historian Jeremy D’Entremont will shine a light on more than 300 years of keepers and families in Boston Harbor during a special presentation on March 29 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Saugus Public Library.
