It was just last spring that I was driving through downtown Boston the day of the parade for the world champion Boston Celtics. Yeah, we’ve had a good run in Boston. I remember thinking, “Wow, wouldn’t it be awesome if the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup and we had a black and gold parade down Boylston Street!&# The best part of their success is that the Bruins haven’t forgotten the people of Boston who love them so much.
