Ed and Jean met at John Hancock, where they both worked in departments next to each other. Ed asked her on a date and they became an item and were married in 1952. They are celebrating over 52 years of marriage with the apparent closeness of honeymooners! “Ed worked a few years at Hancock & then worked as a Boston Custodian and retired after 35 years. Jean was a Campfire Girl (which it’s fun to still hear the ‘Wohelo’ welcome shared among Campfire Girls of the past!). Jean was a member of the (Masons sponsored) ‘Blue Belle Highlanders’ of all girls with Bagpipes and drums! Jean played the bagpipes. The band’s manager had booked them as far as Canada for the Highlander Games. They performed in New York at World’s Fair, Boston Garden, local parades, Topsfield Fair and marched the Masons to church under the swords at the Masons’ special functions! The BlueBelle Highlanders and their music were in demand. The most requested song was ‘Scotland the Brave’! Jean was in the Blue-belle Highlanders from 1961-1966. “Ed and Jean are longtime Saugonians and love Saugus and their neighbors!

I can choose what it shall be. Yesterday is dead, Tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet, I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it!’ – Groucho Marx “Ed and Jean are great neighbors to have; great friends to be privileged to know. “Yours Truly, “The Sketch Artist” Legion breakfasts Saugus American Legion Post 210 is hosting its popular breakfasts from 8-9 a.m. on Fridays.
