We would like an opportunity to discuss this draft further with you and with the MWRA's Fore River Advisory Task Force before the document is made available for broader public distribution and comments. The document you sent us contains several substantive changes from the one which Gary Wilson of MWRA forwarded to you on January 10 (that draft was labelled December 20, 1988). Chief among these is the reintroduction of language excluding uses of the site for other than commercial or industrial purposes. This language appears to be overly restrictive. Our November 20, 1988 draft called for all activities at the site (as these are defined in the Procedures) to be performed in accordance with the Proce- dures. This we thought sufficiently addressed DEQE's concern. S - Anne Bingham, Esq. April 24, 1989 Page 2 I would look forward to discussing the draft land-use restriction with you and MWRA legal staff at your earliest convenience.

  • And an Entrepreneur's Journey to Billion-Dollar Philanthropist
    100% of proceeds go to charity Starting Small and Making It Big An Entrepreneur’s Journey to Billion-Dollar Philanthropist by BILL CUMMINGS Bill Cummings never aspired to be a billionaire –and never acknowledged he was one until long after it happened. For anyone studying business, building a business, or running a business, this self-written memoir offers keen insights, cautionary observations, and the pioneering thinking that produced great prosperity and a multibillion-dollar enterprise. For everyone else, it offers a new and engrossing twist on the classic American success story. “My friend Bill writes that he rejects the phrase ‘give until it hurts’ because he and his wife, Joyce, think the better advice is to ‘give until it feels good.’ It’s a fitting observation. After many conversations with Bill and Joyce, I’ve learned their perspective is not only compelling; it’s contagious—and their warmth comes across on every page.” Melinda Gates, Co-Chair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation “No business majors should conclude their studies without reading this memorable book. Nor should any humanitarian, committed to charity and structural justice. What is most amazing in this orderly, incremental life of business, joy, and community spirit by Bill and his spouse, Joyce, is that you come away believing that ‘the best is yet to come.’” Ralph Nader, Esq., National political leader and author “Bill Cummings never stopped counting his blessings, and neither did his wife. Neither did they tire of sharing these blessings with a widening circle of beneficiaries—from the Boston area to Rwanda. This refreshing memoir reminds us that starting small and making it big is best done by doggedly pursuing values, not riches.” Paul Farmer, MD, PhD, Founder, Partners In Health “My reactions to the book ran the gamut.

The Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company's Quincy-Fore River Shipyard built 92 naval vessels during the war period, including large battleships and aircraft carriers that required large cranes such as the American Revolver Crane. This crane was erected for outfitting completed hulls with superstructure and deck equipment. The crane is an example of mid-twentieth- century shipyard crane engineering designed by a leading American materials handling equipment builder.
