NOTE: Following are links to coverage from major Boston news outlets on the tragic accident at the Quincy quarry. By all accounts it was a terrible accident; no drugs, no alcohol, no foul play. Just 4 good buddies out to have some fun. Only 3 returned. We are deeply grateful to Mr. Coughlin for his service to his country and very sorry for this terrible loss to his family and friends.
