John E. Powers

John E. Powers, a South Boston native, was president of the Massachusetts Senate, a legislator, and a public servant whose vision, legislative effort, and fifty years of continuous elected public service made this lagoon a reality. He lived from 1910 to 1998, and his memory was honored by the grateful citizens of South Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The dedication took place on July 8, 2000, during the service of Governor Argeo Paul Cellucci, Lieutenant Governor Jane Swift, Secretary of Environmental Affairs Bob Durand, and Metropolitan District Commission Commissioner David B. Balfour Jr.
