New pool mural honors Mass. man killed in Vietnam

From Boston.com: New pool mural honors Mass. man killed in Vietnam
A new mural at a state swimming pool in Worcester honors the life of a local man killed in the Vietnam War when he was 21 years old.

The mural was dedicated Friday at the pool named for Cpl. Dennis F. Shine Jr., who died in 1969.

The work was a cooperative venture among Shine’s family, Millbury Savings Bank and the state Department of Conservation and Recreation.

Lt. Gov. Tim Murray said the partnership brings “history, art and a local hero’s story home.’’
