Smooth Sailing

M.J. Linane of Saugus, MA, found a unique way to propose to his new fiancee, Elise Goyette of Rochester. As the two made their way down the Mattapoisett River during this year's Memorial Day Boat Race, family members posted a banner on the arch bridge in Mattapoisett, asking Elise if she would marry M.J. Here M.J. makes a more formal proposal after completing the race. (Photo by Tim Smith).
