Starbound Captain Thanks Community Amid Cenotaph Memorial Review

F/V Starbound survivor and captain Joe Marcantonio publicly thanked neighbors, fishermen and fishing families for backing his effort to add lost fisherman Mark Doughty to the Fishermen's Memorial Cenotaph, and credited Senator Bruce Tarr with formally asking the Cenotaph Committee to reconsider the case using all available information. Marcantonio says he has not heard directly from the committee since that request and does not know whether it has met or plans to. Tarr has also helped arrange an upcoming meeting with Mayor Paul Lundberg, Representative Andrew "Dru" Tarr and Marcantonio to discuss next steps and the future of the Cenotaph.
