Baby You're a Firework

Thursday evening, some of the Cook clan (Andrew had to work the Spinners) attended an unforgettable night, in concert with Middlesex Community College, the Red Sox Foundation, Massachusetts General Hospital and Piers Park sailing program in Boston. The event was held to honor veterans, specifically, wounded warriors, and the work that the college, Red Sox, MGH, and the Piers Park sailing program have done to assist veterans. The collaboration was celebrated in a nighttime reception at 60 State Street in Boston, overlooking Boston Harbor, and capped with an outstanding fireworks display over the harbor.
