I want to pay tribute today to one of the most venerable elected officials ever to serve the city of Boston. Christopher A. lannella has spent 40 years of his life in public service. first as a State representative from Boston and then on its city council. He is presently serving his eighth term as president of that body. establishing a Boston record. Chris is a living example of enthusiasm. vigor. and vibrancy which immigrants have always brought to this country. Born in San Sossio Baronie. Province of Avellino. Italy. he emigrated to the United States at the age of 8. He was educated in the Boston public schools. Boston English High School.
