As you may
have heard, Jack Marlowe passed away recently. He was very active in many
community activities, in addition to chairing the Woburn Redevelopment Authority
board and our Woburn Loop Bikeway/Greenway Committee, and will be very much
missed. There is a celebration of Jack’s life this Saturday, November 10, from
11 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Sons of Italy. I thought many of you would like to know
