By JOANNE QUINN I wish I could hold time in my hands forever. I remember a time in high school, it seems so long ago, when I couldn't wait for graduation day. It came and passed much too quickly. If I could have peered into the future four months ahead, I would have been astonished by my longing to have those carefree days back Here's Boston! again.
