Congratulations to Bridget Duffy who was recently inducted into the Tau Rho Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, the international honor society for nursing, at Quinnipiac University. Nick Cline received the “Military Order of the Purple Heart National Leadership Award” for exemplary leadership demonstrated while enrolled in a Senior Reserve Officer’s Training Course. He also received Certificates of Achievement for his participation in the Army ROTC Ranger Challenge (Oct 22-23), the Light Leaders Society Field Training Exercise (Mar 30-31) and the Boston Marathon (Apr 16). The awards were presented to cadets in the UMASS Minuteman Battalion at Western New England University in Springfield. Nick is finishing his sophomore year as a history major at University of Massachusetts at Amherst where he is a cadet with the UMASS Army ROTC. His mother, Sandy White of Tremont Street, is so proud of him.

Four Duxbury residents, Victoria Brown, Jennifer Day, Marilynn Pisco and Sharon Sylvester, were honored as Pacesetters in the 2011 Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. Their effort generated more than $10,000 of the nearly $7 million for adult and pediatric cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund.
