Snapshot of June, 1980:
- CNN was launched as the world’s first 24-hour news station.
- Comedian Richard Pryor set himself on fire, allegedly while freebasing cocaine.
- The Unabomber injured the president of United Airlines.
- The theme from M.A.S.H. topped the Billboard charts.
- Larry Brehaut was called an “outstanding human being” in Burlington, MA.
Enjoy the nostalgia from Marshall Simonds on these pages. Then go here if you want the horrible truth about Mr. Brehaut, who was transferred to a small room in MCI Walpole a few years after this publication, and later died there. Sociopaths tend to fool everyone, as Needham is finding out.
Special thanks to Irene Kawalec-Menasco for this Simond Says issue. Why it wasn’t called Simonds Says is anyone’s guess. The school is named after Marshall Simonds, the namesake of Simonds Park also.
