The story of King Aviation an unlikely set of circumstances.
Kelley Dineen never intended to work in the flight industry, you could say she just kind of fell into it.

Former New England Patriot and current Mansfield resident shares his story on the start of his campaign against cancer.
Mansfield resident Joe Andruzzi’s Golf Tournament is more than just some supposed fun in the sun with a few celebrities; according to him, it’s a labor of love. “This is going on our fourth year now,” he said. In 2007, the former New England Patriot and three-ring holder for his performance during superbowls was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Burkitt’s lymphoma, which at the time was predicted to double in size in only 24 hours. Andruzzi eventually beat the disease, after severe and aggressive chemotherapy treatments, but the impact it had on his life was hardly just physical.

"Nobody knew Tom Brady. Nobody knew anybody on that team. They knew a few guys, the first rounders, Willie McGinest, …
