The National Weather Service on Monday issued a blizzard warning for much of the Massachu- setts coast, a winter storm warning for most of New England and a winter weather advisory for por- tions of New York, Penn- sylvania and New Jersey. The storm was expected to hit late Monday and last through most of the day to- day, with snow accumulat- ing at a rate of 2 inches per hour during the morning commute, disrupting road and air travel.

Certainly, those who attended would attest to the fact that the highlight of the evening was the speech given by a courageous 16-year-old from Saugus, Zach Cummings, whose battle against cancer galvanized his community and whose remarks sparked reactions that alternated between laughter and tears. For those who weren’t there, the following letter written by Sander van Ot- terloo and read to the crowd perfectly captured the tenor of the event. His parents, philanthropists Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo, are EMG’s Mar- blehead Persons of the Year and were unable to attend.
