FALL RIVER Daniel Hendrie won’t have any difficulty adjusting if and when Gov. Charlie Baker reinstates an executive order mandating that masks must be worn in indoor public places.
“I wear a mask everywhere I go,” he said one recent afternoon, after walking out of the Staples store at SouthCoast Marketplace.
The Fall River attorney said his immediate family and friends, “every last one of them,” have been taking the same precaution since a national public health emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was first declared in March 2020.
And when it comes to erring on the side of caution in social situations, Hendrie, 73, says he’s got it covered.

FALL RIVER Bill Desmarais says he’ll settle for backwards.
“Instead of step one, two, three it’s three, two, one. But that’s OK as long as it gets done,” the senior vice commander of the Fall River and Greater Fall River War Veterans Council said.
Desmarais was referring to the recent volunteer-driven creation of a shady and cool picnic ground on the banks of the South Watuppa Pond adjacent to the former Dave’s Beach, which closed in the early 1970s.
The ribbon cutting for the single-acre, city site at the bottom of Jefferson Street to be known as Fall River Family Picnic Grove is scheduled for noon on Saturday, July 31.
