I live in the Boston area as well and I remember being made to cry before every movie. But you gotta love “tough” guys with a soft squishy center.

i first read the title as “Ironworkers Immobilize Kids”. that would have been a *completely* different story. This one’s better.

Oh, yes, I’m from the Boston area and every summer for years they play that video before movies and then people go around and collect donations. Seriously, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

My wife is recovering from breast cancer and all the different treatments involved. She just finished the “final” stage of reconstruction. I think this is a great idea. Congratulations to the people doing it.

That’s a pretty cool reworking of a tradition that goes back a long long time. Shipwrights used to put a gold coin under the mast of a newly built ship for good luck. Framers used to all sign one of the timbers of a new house or barn that was built a century ago. I’m sure there are other examples as well.
