ASHLAND – Charlie Tempesta received a nice surprise on his seventh birthday yesterday, April 1.
It’s tough having a birthday during the coronavirus. No family celebration. No party with friends.
But yesterday the first-grade student at Warren Elementary received a drive-by visit with lights and sirens by Ashland Police Chief Vince Alfano and Town Manager Michael Herbert.
