QUINCY — The City of Quincy celebrated Flag Day with a colorful parade and a seemingly endless display of the red, white and blue. The annual celebration was started by Quincy Mayor Tom Koch’s father, Richard, 70 years ago and has been the official start to the Summer season in that city. Quincy resident and superfan Uncle Sam Rounseville served as the parade’s Grand Marshal. All photos by Bill Brett
