Monsignor Dalton,the pastor at St Kevins Church, was speaking to our 8th grade class at St Kevins School in 1965, wanting to know our plans for high school, our involvement in the parish activities etc. He told us he had come really close to disbanding the Emerald Knights earlier due to some underage drinking and trouble some of its members had gotten into as a result ( imagine that, kids from Dorchester drinking underage, legal age was 21). Then he said, Fr. Kierce talked him out of it.
