Carl M. Cohen grew up in Dorchester in the 1950s and ‘60s, attended Boston public schools, and went on to graduate from BU and earn advanced degrees from Harvard, all in physics. He now lives in Newton and is president of Science Management Associates. His stories range from school experiences, to cars, to people in his life, to some alarmingly dangerous activities. Come hear his memories, and perhaps share some of your own.

The event will be preceded by a brief annual meeting of the Dorchester Historical Society.
