The crane test is intended to simulate how the actual tower will appear (i.e. it’s visual impact). The test will take place from 12:00 – 3:00pm.

Last year on the 10th anniversary of his death, we felt that it would be fitting to remember him with a golf tournament to benefit The Center for Adolescent Substance Abuse Research (CeASAR) and more specifically, the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) at Children’s Hospital Boston.
