Southborough resident to run marathon for ALS

Southborough – John Megan has always loved to run, whether it was for exercise, a way to bond with his two young daughters as he pushed them in a stroller or for an important cause, such as running with the Dana Farber team during Boston Marathons. That was particularly meaningful, he said, because he ran in memory of his mother, who died of heart cancer in 1995.

Southborough couple serves at home and abroad

Southborough - For Al and Ingamae (Inky) Jones, life together is precious and sweet, their playful bantering and obvious affection a testimony to the blessing they find in one another. The pair, 86 and 84 respectively, met at the Southborough Senior Center, 9 Cordaville Rd., in the fall of 2001. Inky, a retired gym teacher, was an active member of the Senior Center, taking fitness classes, tai chi, line dancing and even belly dancing. When she heard that a singing group would be started at the center, she immediately signed up. Al, who continues to participate in the Tuesday cribbage group, had heard about the Southborough Senior Singers as well and promptly joined. While the Southborough Senior Singers made beautiful music together so, too, did Al and Inky.
