Sullivan s Travels: Honoring the town s quiet man, Pat Young
That’s Pat.
That’s Pat.
That’s Pat as well.
For more than four decades, Pat Young was the quiet man in the background, organizing events and making sure everything was in place.
Sadly, Young died on Feb. 14, less than a week before a veterans square would be dedicated to him and his family.
The ceremony took place on Feb. 20 at the corner of Vermont Avenue and Connecticut Street, in front of the place the Young family has called home for decades.
The square honored Francis Young, who served in the Army during WWII, and his two sons, Patrick and James, who served during Vietnam. Patrick served in the Coast Guard, while James served in the Navy.

Recently, state Rep. David Linsky announced the opening of a mass vaccination site at the Natick Mall starting Feb. 22. LabCorp will be the provider.
According to Linsky, the site will begin administering 500 doses per day, then increasing over the course of several weeks to administering 3,000 doses daily. All eligible residents will be able to use this site.
Eligible residents can now book appointments for the Natick site. For appointment booking, visit https://www.mass.gov/covid-19-vaccine.

Sullivan s Travels: Happy anniversary, Sassamon Trace
Wicked Local
I recently came across a Facebook post from the town of Natick regarding Sassamon Trace golf course off Route 27, and was nearly taken aback when I saw the date it opened – 2001.
Has it been 20 years already?
This piece of Dowse Orchards, combined with a piece of the old Natick landfill (OK, OK – dump), has become a really nice 9-hole course enjoyed by hundreds of golfers over the years. In addition to leagues, the course is home to the Natick High and Dover-Sherborn High golf teams.
