From presidents and patriots, to locals engaged in service both heartwarming and heartbreaking, Quincy has been a place where names endure. On Adams Street, a stately mansion evokes the nation�s second president and his storied kin, while the nearby Bernazzani Elementary School recalls a beloved educator who died after suffering a medical episode during a school committee meeting. In addition to two presidents and John Hancock, Quincy also birthed Dunkin� Donuts and Howard Johnson�s, Hollywood stars Ruth Gordon and Bill Dana, punk rock legends the Dropkick Murphys, and a host of prominent industrialists who made quarrying and shipbuilding Quincy�s national calling cards. Less renowned but equally ingrained are the city�s local characters. Memories of Mike �The Winger� Zadrozny launching vinyl records like Frisbees around the city still elicit nostalgia. Generations who played Little League in the Koch Club recall Richard Koch�s commitment to community. The homeless honor Fr. William McCarthy, who founded the shelter Father Bill�s Place and personified charity. These legendary names�individuals both towering and humble�made Quincy a uniquely American city and kept it that way.
