From today’s Boston Globe –
By Lauren Daley Globe Correspondent,Updated May 12, 2021, 5:31 p.m.
Mark Sullivan might have sold you (or your parents) a Red Sox hat in the ’70s. As a Medfield teen, he worked a souvenir cart near Fenway Park.
He’s 62 today and living in Bozeman, Montana. He’s also a bestselling author.
While the Medfield High grad has written a few thrillers — including the “Private” series with James Patterson — his knack for World War II stories launched him to the top of the bestseller lists.

Q. Tell us about growing up in Medfield and your path to writing.
A. The high school was fantastic. My English teacher, Estelle Stahl, was the first person to tell me I could become a professional writer.

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
