A colorful Mayor Menino’s Coffee Hour Held at the Unveiling of political legend has left us. He was a doer and also quite a talker. His long speeches in the City Council the Newly-Renovated DeFilippo Playground led to the passing of the so-called “Freddie Rule,” which will forever limit City Councillors to ten minute speeches. Freddie ran for City Council several times during the Fifties and finally got himself elected in 1961. He was defeated in 1971 and returned a year later when Joe Moakley got elected to Congress. He stayed in office until 1983 when he ran for Mayor. Freddie has been out of office since January 1984 but hardly retired from public life. He remained the street smart pol he always was. Many called him the, “Mayor of the North End.” Even out of office he remained a voice for working families and the elderly. For many years he had been one of the most prolific writers for the Post-Gazette. As much as I thought I wrote, he out wrote me too. Freddie and I weren’t just writers of the Post-Gazette. We were friends just as he and my father were friends going back to their younger days. He always reminded me of my father and I also reminded him of my father. Freddie was a man of action who once said, “People want action. They don’t want gray flannel politicians with white papers and surveys.” Freddie may be gone but he will live on in the collective memories of the North End he so loved. I will never forget him. He was like family to me.
