BBTM Co-Founder and Artistic Programs Director Doreen Murray and her mother, BBTM Co-Founder and her mother, Executive Director Virginia Peacock-Makkers, welcomed the many guests to the prom.

The guests enjoyed a festive evening of dining and dancing.

The Rev. Ritt continued in his extolment, “Today we are here to thank God for the gift of Jerry’s life and to celebrate it. As I was reviewing Jerry’s life, it seems to me there is a common thread in his life: his service of others. Just think, he served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He served the city of Lynn as a teacher and counselor of young people. He served in the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and as a coach and mentor in the Babe Ruth League.”

The Rev. Ritt lauded, “He held many jobs and many positions, he served many people in life, but none more important to him that his wife and children and grandchildren.”

Mr. Gerald “Jerry” Waldron, a beloved English and Social Studies teacher and guidance counselor in the Lynn school district from 1972 to 2005 and a highly successful Babe Ruth League coach and mentor to his players, passed away on June 24, 2026, following a brief illness. He was 82.

Suzanne “Sue” Waldron, speaking on behalf of the family, including her four siblings, Wendy, Melissa, Katie, and Jeff, delivered a beautiful eulogy about her father’s “full and meaningful life – a life rooted in family, friendship and community.”

Sue showed some of the glorious humor of her father, noting that “It feels somewhat ironic that services are being held here in Lynn. Forgive me, Father, but the only positive thing our dad would ever say about Lynnfield was, ‘Well, at least there’s a bus that will take you from Lynnfield back to West Lynn.’”

“Dad loved Lynn,” she affirmed. “It was where he grew up on Deer Park, where he raised a fair amount of hell in his youth, and later where he raised his own family on Purdon Avenue.”

Sue Waldron shined the spotlight deservedly on her amazing parents, Jerry and Doris Waldron, in a message of love.

“Mom and Dad built a beautiful life together over 54 years of marriage – a life filled with family and love. There was never any doubt how much Dad loved our Mom, or how much he loved his children and grandchildren. He was present in all of our lives in the way that mattered most – steadily and wholeheartedly. He coached and was our biggest fan. He showed up to countless baseball, softball, and basketball games.”

She wittily told of her father’s fledgling golf game, discovering “a real love of the game later in life,” and though his shots could be erratic at times, “what he loved more was the camaraderie that came with it. Jimmy Dakin once told my brother that if you golfed 18 holes with Jerry, you’d hear 18 different stories.”

“He loved to talk, to tell stories, to laugh, to show up, and to be surrounded by people who mattered most to him. He was loyal, funny, very opinionated, and deeply devoted to his family and friends.”

Concluding her exquisite tribute – a grand slam home run if you may – to a loyal Lynner who was loved by all, Sue Waldron said, “Dad, we love you very much and we know you are in a much better place where you can eat as many hot dogs, baked potatoes, and liver and onions as you want.”

Colleagues in education salute him

Former Lynn Superintendent of Schools Nick Kostan said Mr. Waldron lived “a wonderful life.”

“Jerry was one of the best human beings that you could ever meet,” said Kostan. “He was very ethical, moral, just a tremendous role model for kids as a great teacher and guidance counselor. He was a great teammate and great friend, just a wonderful person. And the most important thing, he was a great family man. The most important thing to him was his family.” 

Former Lynn school administrator Warren White, who worked with Mr. Waldron at Breed Junior High, said his admiration for Mr. Waldron was based on his personal and professional relationships.

“Jerry Waldron was a personal friend of mine,” said White. “As a kid growing up, he was one of the older kids in the neighborhood and he was respected by all. He had great leadership skills. I had the opportunity to work with him as the principal at Breed, where he was a guidance counselor. He did a terrific job and the students loved him. He always found opportunities to let kids shine.”

White recalled how Mr. Waldron stepped up and organized all the observances for veterans at the school.

“He ran all the Veterans Day and Memorial Day assemblies and did an outstanding job with the tech-ed people. They were a heck of a team. People would come from all over to these assemblies honoring the veterans, letting the kids know how important their service to the country was. The kids were first with Jerry Waldron. He was that kind of guy.”

Also paying tribute to Mr. Waldron were former Lynn Tech Principal and college football official Bart Conlon and business owner and philanthropist David Solimine Sr., who with many others enjoyed Mr. Waldron’s majestic companionship in the weekly Shoe City Golf League at Gannon.

Special memories

Everyone has a special memory of this outstanding coach and gentleman who was known widely as a terrific storyteller.

We remember how a sports reporter from the Lynn Item traveled to Brattleboro, Vermont in 1992 to cover Mr. Waldron’s Eastern Mass. championship team that was playing in the New England finals. Though he we was totally immersed in preparations for what was one of the biggest games in Lynn youth baseball history, Mr. Waldron left his post and began walking to the other side of the diamond. Once there, Mr. Waldron approached the reporter and said simply, “Thank you for being here for our boys.” That gesture of gratitude and kindness has never been forgotten by this writer.

Nor has Mr. Waldron’s brilliant coaching, his superior knowledge of baseball, and the perfect manner in which he coached his son, Jeff. It was clear at that point in his Babe Ruth Baseball career that Jeff was a standout among a team of all-stars and was headed to greater heights in the sport. With his keen eye for talent, Mr. Waldron certainly knew that his son had special gifts and amazing potential, but he never boasted or sought special recognition for Jeff. He treated all players on teams he coached like they were his own sons.

Buoyed by the love and support of his father, Jerry and his mother, Doris, and his sisters – Jeff, as outstanding a person off the field as he was on –  achieved so much in his baseball career.

After a superb multi-sport career in high school, Jeff excelled in Division 1 baseball at Boston College where he is an inductee in the Hall of Fame. He realized the dream of every baseball player by being drafted (twice) by Major League Baseball teams and playing professionally. Jeff carried on his father’s legacy in the field of education at Masconomet Regional High School.  

Mr. Gerald “Jerry” Waldron has coached his last game. The inspiring message that his three grandchildren, Sadie, Wes, and Max will always have, the remembrance they will hold dearly, just as the Rev. Paul Ritt told the assemblage on Wednesday, July 1, 2026: their grandfather was indeed “a remarkable man.”

Thank you, Mr. Waldron, for all you did for others. You made Lynn a better place.

Former Superintendent of Schools Nick Kostan said Mr. Waldron lived “a wonderful life.”

Former Lynn principal Warren White said his admiration 

Brown was elected by a vote of the returning players in the program and will officially lead the Falcons into pre-season practices on Aug. 10. 

 “I’m definitely very honored to be one of the captains,” said Brown. “It means a lot knowing all my teammates trust me and respect me enough to vote me as a captain. Coming off the excellent season that we had last year and being one of the returning guys on defense and a senior, I knew I had to step up big and take on that role.”

Bentley head football coach CJ Scarpa lauded Brown’s ascendancy from scout team as a freshman to captain as a senior.

“We are super excited to have David help lead our 2026 football program,” said Scarpa. “David is a guy who has grown into an incredible teammate and player. He was voted as a captain by his teammates because of his ability to positively affect not only his teammates but others who have the privilege to meet him. This is a player-led organization, and we are fortunate to be led by David and company.”

Brown earned the starting safety position as a junior. He was involved in more than 40 tackles and intercepted two passes, including a 71-yard interception for a touchdown in a victory over Pace University. Brown’s stellar contribution helped the Falcons rise from an 0-3 start and win seven consecutive games, culminating in a Northeast-10 championship and a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

“It was a pretty good year,” said Brown humbly. “I wish I had done a little bit better. I didn’t make the all-conference team, and that’s a goal of mine for this season. Overall, it was a great season for our team.”

At 5-feet, 9 inches, and 190 pounds, Brown is projected to be the starting free safety this season. The Falcons will be tested right away, traveling to Michigan to play defending two-time Division II national champion Ferris State, who had a perfect 16-0 record in the 2025 season.

“They’re back-to-back D-2 national champs, so that will be a big challenge for us to see where we’re at,” said Brown. “Our goal for this season is to win the conference championship again, make the playoffs and advance further than we did last year.”

A legendary career in the city of Lynn

David Brown Jr. is arguably one of the greatest athletes in the city of Lynn’s history. And that trajectory of excellence began as early as Pine Hill Little League where he was a two-time Williamsport All-Star and a top-tier pitcher and hitter. He continued his career in East Lynn Pop Warner where he was a touchdown-producing machine.

In basketball, he teamed up at a young age with his father, coach David Brown Sr. on a Lynn-based AAU team, and the foundation to future success on the court had been established.

David Jr. had the opportunity to witness first-hand his father’s dedication and work ethic when he was a junior sideline assistant for the 2011 state championship Winthrop High School boys basketball team.

When the Browns became a father-son duo in the St. Mary’s basketball program, the phenomenal success (and state titles) continued. David Jr. scored more than 1,200 career while steering the Spartans to a state championship in his junior year. Lynn fans will remember that there were a few highlight-reel dunks to complement his playmaking and outside shooting prowess.

“I still play intramural basketball at college with my roommates and a couple of players on the football team, but nothing serious,” related Brown.

On the football field at St. Mary’s, Brown was a two-time Boston Globe Player of the Year as the Spartans claimed the Division 6 Super Bowl title in his senior year.

“I definitely had a lot of fun playing sports at St. Mary’s,” said Brown. “Every year we had winning teams and winning records. I was a student there since sixth grade, and there were always a winning environment and a great atmosphere.”

Praise for the Bentley coaches

As dominating as he was in high school sports, Brown knew he would have to step up his game at the college level.

“Everyone on their college football team excelled for their high school team, but once you get to college, you have to separate yourself somehow,” said Brown.

He praises the coaching staff at Bentley, led by Scarpa, who was named the 2005 New England Football Writers and Gridiron Club of Boston Coach of the Year. 

“I love our coaching staff,” said Brown. “They’re all great coaches. They’re in the office putting in as many hours as they can and devoting time and energy to their players. They’re intense, but that’s what you need out of your coaches. If you want to be a really good player, you can’t have laid-back coaches, so I like them a lot.”

Carrying on a legacy

He is grateful to his parents, Winthrop Police Officer David Brown Sr. and Helen Brown and his sisters, Ava Brown and Eliza Brown.

“I think my father has missed maybe two games out of every single game I’ve played since I was four years old,” said David Jr. “He’s my biggest supporter, and I can always rely on him to have my back and be encouraging me all the time.”

David Jr. said he carries the memory of his grandfather, the late Pete Pedro, a college All-American at West Texas State, into every endeavor he undertakes, especially sports.

“My grandfather is with me in mind and spirit all the time,” said David Jr. “I play football because of him. When I was nine or ten years old and thinking about not playing anymore, he kept me playing football, so everything’s for him.”

And he will take that proud legacy and the family’s gridiron royalty forward as a captain at Bentley University in Waltham, which is also one of the premier business schools in the nation. 

Jones is a U.S. Army veteran and captain who served in Afghanistan. He is also an attorney, a father, and a husband. He told the large crowd of supporters that he is running because of his deep love for the United States of America, Massachusetts, and the North Shore and Merrimack Valley.

Jones is the lone Republican candidate for the seat that is currently held by Congressman Seth Moulton, who is running for the U.S. Senate.

Jones is the son of Eric Jones, a Republican and a police officer, and Fern Jones, a Democrat and a college librarian. He is a graduate of the Northeastern University School of Law. He is fluent in Spanish, having spent a year of college study abroad in Spain.

Prominent North Shore realtor Lou Markakis and former Lynn city councilor and school committee member Rick Starbard co-hosted the event. 

Working directly with grassroots organizers, these legal resources will help Lynn residents better understand their legal situation and make the best decisions for their families. The additional capacity is necessitated by an extended period of detentions and deportations in the City and the region.

The City and the People’s Budget Coalition released a joint statement: “It is clear that defending our legal institutions and access to due process is more urgent than ever. We have seen our city targeted by the federal government as a result of racial profiling. All of us need to stand together. We are one city. We must be united.”

The City and the People’s Budget Coalition also agreed to work collaboratively to try to raise additional funding from philanthropic sources, with a goal of $150,000, which would add longevity to the project, as well as expand on its initial successes. 

“We have been standing with our immigrant residents throughout this federal overreach and are excited to partner with the advocacy groups and NLA/NJC on this important initiative,” said Mayor Jared C. Nicholson. “The ARPA allocation, which exists outside the municipal budget, needs to be expended by the end of this year and is therefore a good fit given the urgency of the need for these services. We are committed to continuing to identify funding sources for this cause.”

“We are glad to be able to work together with the Mayor and City Council in this key moment to pursue meeting the urgent need for increased local legal support capacity – an important part of our broader ongoing fight to protect Lynn’s immigrant communities,” said Celly De La Cruz, a core member of the Comité Nueva Primavera.

Yuri Sanchez-Rijo, an organizer with Neighbor to Neighbor, added, “We will continue to show up, organize, and speak out to fight for the safety and dignity of our diverse community. This is an important step, but there is much more work ahead to be done.”

Organizers from Nueva Primavera and the Lynn LUCE Immigrant Justice hub will work in an ongoing partnership with NLA/NJC, the mayor’s office, and the City Council to address the most pressing needs felt by the immigrant community in Lynn.

After a quarter-century absence, the Lynn Police Department motorcycle unit has returned, with seven officers and two bikes, providing the department and the city with increased protection and visibility.

“The motorcycle unit adds a highly visible patrol resource that can move more effectively through congested areas and strengthen public engagement,” Chief Chris Reddy said. “This unit supports traffic enforcement, road-safety initiatives and community outreach and education. It also serves as an important security resource at public gatherings and ceremonial events.”

Reddy credited Capt. Michael Kmiec with overseeing the return of the motorcycle unit. The officers who comprise it are part of the patrol division, with the commanding officer of their tour having the ability to assign them to the bike on any given shift.

The officers in the unit must complete at least 40 hours of training to be certified, and 80 hours to be certified by the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC). According to those who have done it, it is a grind to say the least.

“It’s a very tough course,” said Officer Chris Sanjurjo, who has been with the unit since it was reinstated last summer. “It’s like having a little car in your hands and you have to be able to maneuver it into small spaces.”

Being able to drop and pick up the 800-pound motorcycle requires significant physical strength, one of the reasons that less than half of the officers who take the certification course pass it, according to Sanjurjo.

“You need to be in sync with the bike,” said Officer Kostyantyn Zozulya, who completed his certification this spring. “You have to be able to ride low and control an 800-pound machine going 5 miles an hour.”

The unit serves a dual purpose, providing an extra layer of public safety combined with increased visibility and community engagement.

“We are excited to be reinstating the motorcycle unit,” Mayor Jared C. Nicholson said. “Promoting community engagement with public safety is important, and we appreciate the ways in which our motorcycle unit will be able to do that thanks to this investment, the police department’s initiative, and the skill and effort of the officers in the unit.”

 Reddy said the bikes give officers a better chance to engage residents than if they were riding in a patrol car.

“It’s easier for them to stop and interact,” the chief said. “They’re more approachable. People enjoy seeing the motorcycles out there. It’s been well received, internally and in the community. This is a resource that is standard for a police department our size. It provides real benefits.”

Reddy said the department leased the two motorcycles for three years.

“People are smiling when they see us,” Zozulya said. “We can be stewards for the police department. The general public loves to see us out there.”

When the members of the Second Continental Congress gathered in Philadelphia in June, 1776, it was not at all clear that they eventually would declare America’s independence from England. Although the “shot heard round the world” had been fired at Concord more than a year earlier in April, 1775, and a de facto state of war existed in some regions of the colonies, many in America still held out hope that they could come to some sort of agreement with England regarding taxation and representation such that secession would not be inevitable.

However, with leading thinkers led by John Adams making the case to break free from England, the momentum to declare independence overcame even the most skeptical of the colonists.

On July 2, the delegations from 12 states voted to declare their independence (the delegation from New York did not do so until July 19) and on July 4, those delegations voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence. Massachusetts delegate John Hancock, in his role as President of the Congress, was the initial signer of the declaration, to be followed eventually by signatories from all 13 states.

Thomas Jefferson’s words in the first sentence of the second paragraph of the Declaration are among the most famous in the English language and the most widely-quoted in any language (although we should note that Jefferson’s use of the word “men” was quite literal, inasmuch as it did not include women, and it certainly did not include African slaves of either gender).

However, the use of the adjective “all” was the most revolutionary aspect of the Declaration. The signers themselves consisted mostly of America’s aristocratic class — Jefferson himself was a plantation owner with many slaves — but the word “all” clearly was meant to include every American of even the humblest means.

That one sentence in the Declaration upended the world order at that time and forever after. It set the stage for the French Revolution 13 years later and eventually led to the demise of monarchies throughout the world. Our democracy as we know it today rests on the premise that every citizen should have an equal voice in the operation of our government.

So as we celebrate the holiday weekend with our friends and family, let’s remember that the freedoms we enjoy today all began with a few novel words written 250 years ago —  and that we never should take for granted the legacy that the Founding Fathers bestowed upon us.

Enjoy a safe & sane 4th of July weekend

When Americans celebrated the Fourth of July at the turn of the 20th century, they did so in such rowdy fashion that vandalism and destruction of both public and private property were commonplace.

This rampant hooliganism was suppressed only when public officials and the public-at-large decided that the holiday should be observed in what they termed a “safe and sane” manner.

Our Fourth of July celebrations today are much more restrained compared to those days, but far too many of us go a bit overboard in our observance of the holiday.

Drunk driving, drunk boating, drunk swimming, and using fireworks (especially while under the influence) will result in thousands of deaths and injuries across our nation this weekend — all because too many among us will have had too much to drink.

We urge our readers to make sure that they and their loved ones do not become one of those sad statistics. It is up to each of us to be responsible not only for ourselves, but also for those we care about. If someone among us is drinking too much, take their keys and make sure they are safe — none of us wants to have the regret, “If only I had stopped them from getting behind the wheel…”

We wish all of our readers a happy, safe, and sane Fourth of July.

Trabajando directamente con los organizadores comunitarios, estos recursos legales ayudarán a los residentes de Lynn a entender mejor su situación legal y tomar las mejores decisiones para sus familias. La capacidad adicional es necesaria debido a un período prolongado de detenciones y deportaciones en la Ciudad y la región.

La Ciudad y la Coalición del Presupuesto Popular emitieron una declaración conjunta: “Está claro que defender nuestras instituciones jurídicas y el acceso al debido proceso es más urgente que nunca. Hemos visto cómo nuestra ciudad ha sido blanco del gobierno federal debido a la discriminación racial. Todos debemos permanecer unidos. Somos una sola ciudad. Debemos estar Unidos”.

El Ayuntamiento y la Coalición por un Presupuesto Popular también acordaron trabajar en colaboración para tratar de recaudar fondos adicionales de fuentes filantrópicas, con un objetivo de 150,000 dólares, lo que garantizaría la continuidad del proyecto y permitiría ampliar sus logros iniciales.

“Hemos estado apoyando a nuestros residentes inmigrantes durante toda esta extralimitación federal y nos entusiasma asociarnos con los grupos de defensa y con la NLA/NJC en esta importante iniciativa”, dijo el Alcalde Jared C. Nicholson. “La asignación de fondos ARPA, que es independiente del presupuesto municipal, debe gastarse antes de que termine este año y, por lo tanto, resulta muy adecuada dada la urgencia de la necesidad de estos servicios. Estamos comprometidos a seguir identificando fuentes de financiamiento para esta causa”.

“Nos complace poder colaborar con el Alcalde y el Concejo de la Ciudad en este momento clave para atender la urgente necesidad de ampliar la capacidad de apoyo legal a nivel local, una parte importante de nuestra lucha continua y más amplia por proteger a las comunidades inmigrantes de Lynn”, afirmó Celly De La Cruz, miembro fundamental del Comité Nueva Primavera. Yuri Sanchez-Rijo, organizadora de Neighbor to Neighbor, añadió: “Seguiremos presentes, organizándonos y alzando la voz para luchar por la seguridad y la dignidad de nuestra diversa comunidad. Este es un paso importante, pero queda mucho trabajo por hacer”.

Los organizadores de Nueva Primavera y del Centro Lynn LUCE Immigrant Justice trabajarán en colaboración continua con NLA/NJC, la Oficina del Alcalde y el Concejo de la Ciudad para abordar las necesidades más apremiantes de la comunidad inmigrante de Lynn.

Named for legendary Lynn athlete Harry Agganis, the foundation has been awarding scholarships in his name since 1958. Including this year’s recipients, the foundation has given $2.68 million to 1,086 student-athletes.

This year’s scholarship winners come from nine high schools and five communities. Selected from a group of more than 130 applicants, they are going to prestigious colleges including Amherst, Bates, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and Tufts. Scholarship recipients receive $2,000 per year each year they are in college. There is also a President’s Scholarship, a one-time $2,000 award.

“We are proud to recognize another group of outstanding student-athletes,” said Agganis Foundation President John Meklis. “The foundation takes great pride in honoring the legacy of Harry Agganis by presenting scholarships in his name.”

There are three endowed scholarships, named for George D. Behrakis, Thomas L. Demakes and Attorney Charles Demakis. This year, the foundation’s board of trustees voted to add an 11th scholarship, named for Paul Halloran, the longtime executive director of the Agganis All-Star Games who has been affiliated with the foundation since first covering the football game as a (Lynn) Daily Item sportswriter in 1985.

The Agganis Foundation scholarship is open to students who live or attend school in Lynn, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Nahant, Peabody, Saugus, Swampscott or Salem. Applicants must play an MIAA-recognized varsity sport and accepted to a 4-year college. Applications are graded on academics, athletics and extracurricular activities by a nine-member Scholarship Committee that includes school superintendents, principals, athletic directors and coaches.

“The Scholarship Committee continues to be impressed with the quality of applications we receive from across North Shore every year,” said David Angeramo, chair of the committee. “Not only are these students getting the job done in the classroom and on the field, they are also making a difference in their schools and in the greater community.”

The 2026 Agganis All-Star Games will be played June 27-28 in Lynn.

Since 1955, the Agganis Foundation has awarded 1,086 scholarships totaling $2,680,000.

The ascension toward the top tier of the entertainment industry continues for Khan, 42, who is currently garnering robust reviews for his recurring role as Ali “Paneer” Sahir in the second season of “Deli Boys,” a crime comedy television series airing on Hulu. The website RogerEbert.com gave Khan a shoutout, writing that they would like to see a spin-off featuring Khan’s character, certainly a positive affirmation of his standout performance on the show.

Khan, who works out three times a week at the Lynn YMCA, is also flourishing in other fields as he will be producing his first film, “The Long Jazeera,” which is about a famous writer who is struggling with alcoholism and has been estranged from his Pakistani family on Long Island. Khan, who is of Pakistani descent and has been in recovery for 15 years, will also star in the film which was written by Saleem Gondal and will be co-produced by Rabia Sultana.

Release of a new album 

The versatile Khan is also an accomplished guitarist and backup vocalist for the band, Ravi Shavi, who on June 12 released a new album, “Wild Rock Dove.”

“The band has been together for about 14 years, and I joined the band in 2021, said Khan, who formed a punk rock band, Kominas, about 20 years ago. “We’re a pretty fun, indy-rock, rock-rock band.”

Khan is the lone Bostonian with the Providence-based Ravi Shavi, whose other band members include band leader and vocalist Rafay Rashid, guitarist Nick Politelli, guitarist Chuck Harry, and drummer Ben Tucker.

Admiration for his work

Khan is encouraged by the favorable response to Deli Boys and his professional work on screen.

“The series seems to be doing very well,” said Khan, noting that the show is about Philadelphia but is filmed in Chicago. “We got a grade of 100 [per cent] on Rotten Tomatoes. Everyone is hoping that there will be a Season Three. There are so many shows out there, so it’s exciting to make an impact on the audience. It’s a great story and I’m working with a great team. There’s been some pretty smart marketing for it, and it’s a funny, entertaining show.”

Khan said the addition of former Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen, who plays the role of casino kingpin Max Sugar, has created a lot of buzz and brought heightened comedic energy to the show.

Khan is represented locally by Andrew Wilson Agency, Boston. His theatrical agents there are Lisa Hartman and Bobby Saulog while his manager is Malissa Young of Malissa Young Management, New York City.

The dashing, 5-foot-11-inch Khan said he enjoys the facilities at the Lynn YMCA and the friendships he’s made with local residents and the congenial staff at the facility. 

And one thing in his life that also remains constant: Khan’s love of Winthrop, where he and his wife, Lauren, a scientist, have lived for the past 15 years.  

“We both really like being by the ocean,” said Khan, who attended Acton-Boxborough High School.” “Winthrop is a wonderful place to live.”

And Winthrop and the North Shore are proud to have a television star in its midst.
