When I was 18 Mr. Johnson offered me to"take over "his auction practice!
I wasn't eady yet I followed Old Colby and the vociferous and outspoken and sometime crude P.R.Langevin!
Fast forward to 1974, living in Scituate with an Ocean View from Greenfield Lane on 3rd Cliff opportunity came my way. I would counselling with Father George Connolly and knew St. Mary's parish was to hold an auction. I said 'Who is going to be your auctioneer? "Len Dillon." But he got sick and I stood front and center and began. My life had been "in training for this moment!
Danny Sheehan, a fantastic photographer for The Boston Globe documented his Rookie and today I have a photo of that fateful day in June of 1974! I called the St. Mary's Auction for 10 years. My story may be read on line in the July, 1992 Rotarian Magazine with Sheehan photographs showing me in a straw hat and sons Ben & Josh. Read it! Check it out!
