The Boyle's Final Four Party This Saturday April 2

An announcement from the eloquent Kevin Boyle (a SMA boy) - much of the reference is Sennott Park-ish. And that's OK - we Corporal Burns boys get along!

Hi guys,

It’s that time again, this year we will have our 16^th annual Final Four party on Saturday, April 2^nd at 4pm.  Once again Billy Williams will be working the bar and sweating like Kenny Kane heading to the Pearly Gates.  

We have the top floor of The French Club rented out, which as most of us know, is upstairs from Frank’s Steakhouse on Mass Ave in North Cambridge.  The Pastor at St. John’s Church has given the ok to parking in the Church lot, otherwise park in the surrounding neighborhood.

Recently I went to the movies and watched Spotlight, which won the Oscar for best picture.  It’s ok for everyone from Sennott Park to go see it; there were no references to any of you old Altar and Choir boys in the Sacristy with Buffa……some of you lucked out.

In the words of John Norton, do not come empty handed to The French Club.  The food that guys have brought over the past few years has been great.  The desserts have been a big hit, especially with Mark Haynes who has eaten more brownies than Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

If you walk into our party and Dougie is already there, then you are seriously late.  I’ve heard from Woody and he is making the trip up from Florida as he is feeling better and looking forward to seeing 2 or 3 of you.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Michael Grassia, yes the same guy that truth be told, is in charge of three separate missile projects with the Department of Defense through Raytheon.  Good luck sleeping tonight!!!
