team. He and I coached for 18 years<br />
here, but he meant way more than<br />

Norman graduated from<br />
Marblehead High in 1980 and<br />
remained in town throughout his<br />

equipment issues we ever had,”<br />
Gold said. “If anyone ever needed<br />
anything in town, he got it done.” 45<br />
