Correction: At the end of my last story I said I was going on vacation and implied that I wouldn’t write another one until after the New Year. Obviously that was wrong. On Christmas Day, at 6:03 p.m., I got an email about a birthday celebration for Louis Tanzer of Beverly. Mr. Tanzer turned 105 on Christmas Day, reason enough for a big bash. But he also happens to be the city’s oldest living veteran, maybe the state’s oldest living veteran. So I thought, time to put off vacation for one more day.
