Welch was the 2001 winner of the Boston Bruins’ John Carlton Trophy, given to the most outstanding student-athlete in Mass. high school hockey. Past winners of the award include Ted Donato ’91, who was the NCAA tournament MVP for Harvard’s 1989 national championship team, and 1995 World Series MVP Tom Glavine, who was a Kings draft pick years before he established himself as a major league pitcher...

Seniority barely exists: if older workers slow down, their salaries could too. Management also moves employees at will, from payroll and sales...
