BY RAY FLYNN The Golden Bridges Award Luncheon is one of Boston’s great events, which we all look forward to every year. It took place this year at the World Trade Center on Thursday, October 8th. One of the people receiving an award was Billy Higgins of South Boston, a friend and neighbor. Our thanks to Martin O’Mulleoir of the Irish Echo, and his capable staff ,for hosting this special event. The Echo is America’s oldest Irish newspaper and we value its important and respected history. We are also grateful to the wonderful reception the people of Ireland recently gave to our dear friend and Mayor Martin Walsh and the entire Boston delegation. In paying tribute to respected Irish-American citizens as we do each year, we honor some of our most prominent citizens, including Billy Higgins of South Boston.
