Jayan Landry, the CEO Executive Director of the Merrimack Valley Trauma Intervention Program, has put together a truly outstanding organization that does so much good in the most difficult of times. I had the opportunity to attend the 14th annual T.I.P. banquet on Thursday evening with most of the public safety brass in the Merrimack Valley. One of the Fire honorees was Lawrence Fire Captain James Loffredo, a Methuen resident who I attended the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) with. Congratulations to Jim and the other honorees, and a big thank you to Jayan and the T.I.P. volunteers, who have done so much for Methuen and the Merrimack Valley. Link to the T.I.P. website here.
