The Marblehead Messenger in 1977 quoted the late member Ed Bauer, “When you’re part of the Regiment, you feel like you have one foot in two centuries.”

“This is something that the Regiment has done every year since they formed in 1974,” Sands said, adding that the funeral march is sacrosanct. “The Regiment’s members back then said even if there were two guys left alive, they would still do this.”

Daly and Sands welcome the public to join the regiment on Saturday, Jan. 28. People only need to show up at 4:45 p.m. at the Old Town House.

When the assemblage reaches Old Burial Hill, “we’ll do a speech commemorating Glover’s life,” said Daly.

“We’ll pray for Glover and the members we’ve lost in the past year,” Daly said. “We’ll render honors, and then we will march back.”

This year’s funeral march follows the release of a report that Glover’s tomb requires $3,500 worth of conservation work.

“The base, constructed from modern bricks, is in good condition, but the mortar joints are beginning to open up,” the report reads. “The marble top is covered with biological growths but is in very good condition.”

The report also notes, “No foundation or brick vault is visible below the base, indicating that this may not be the original location of this tomb.” to see them do such careful work for others.”

“So I came to New York City with $400 in my pocket. But I didn’t know the language and I said. “They seemed to enjoy it today and they took great care in filling the jars … it made me proud didn’t like it there. I had a friend who owned a Greek restaurant in Malden and so I arrived at his door with my suitcase.”

Katsoulakos met his wife, Ellen, at the restaurant. “She made her own dresses and was voted best dressed at her high school,” he boasted.

Katsoulakos got a job at a Malden department store, but wanted to work for himself so started taking tailoring work from the Vinnin Square clothing store, Judd’s. community.

“I had a small rack at home where I kept the clothes, but it collapsed the first week,” because he had so much work.

Katsoulakos decided to open his own shop – first next to National Grand Bank and then, a few years later, down the street at 129 Pleasant. He and Ellen worked there together until she passed away about 20 years ago.

When customers walked into his shop they would see see five old sewing machines, including Katsoulakos’ favorite — an old Singer that he’d had since he opened.

“Even about sewing machines I have memories,” he laughed, affectionately patting the Singer. There were clothes hanging on racks and dusty old family photos on the wall.

Katsoulakos had a message for all his customers. “I want to thank the people of Marblehead. They’ve kept me busy all the time.”
