Here Comes Patriotic Trouble!
Local Dennis McKee (right) and his best out-of-town pal, Butch Butcher (left), celebrate the 4th of July in style. Friends since their Harvard and MIT days, Butch says, “Dennis has never been able to NOT get us down here for a Fourth!” Butch’s wife, Colleen, adds “Butch is retired navy, so we love everything here, like McP’s. I convinced them to match this year!” Dennis laughs, and cuts in: “You know how she convinced us? She bought the shirts and said ‘put ’em on!'”
