The graduation ceremony is DRESSED FOR THE DAY: Former Saugus resident Suzanne Wright and her son Colton, 8, of Danvers, wore their patriotic colors for the Memorial Day Ceremony last Saturday (May 28) at Riverside Cemetery. Colton wore a replica U.S. Naval uniform for history’s sake — to honor the day’s special guest, June “BJ” Farrell, the 77th Commanding Offi cer of the USS Constitution and the fi rst woman offi cer in charge during the ship’s 224-year history. Commander Farrell was the keynote speaker at the graveside ceremony for the fallen and also was the grand marshal for this year’s Memorial Day parade.
