Here’s more about Larry:

Larry DiCara was the youngest person ever elected to the Boston City Council; he served for ten years on the Council, including as its President, and has been an active citizen of the Greater Boston community for five decades.  He has been appointed by mayors and governors to serve on a number of public boards. He has also chaired A Better City, the Boston Municipal Research Bureau and other organizations and served as an officer and member of the Executive Committee of the Boston Bar Association. While on the City Council, he actively participated in many of the decisions which made Boston the city it is today: Quincy Market, Copley Place, Charlestown Navy Yard, etc. As an attorney in private practice, Larry represented a wide array of clients in cities and towns across the Commonwealth.
