Cassell's Corner

Host Tommy Cassell brings iin a couple for the first time. They are seniors from rivaling towns and schools. Milford's Shannon Cormier and Hopedale's Brandon Hall.   Shannon is currently on the undefeated Milford softball team, which is the defending Division 1 state champion. Brandon is currently running outdoor track for Hopedale and just broke the school record in the 1-mile.    The two started dating nearly two years ago when Brandon added Shannon as a friend on Snapchat. It took two dates for him to finally ask for her telephone number. The two are very competitive with each other and have been trying to out-do one another when it comes to proposals to prom: promposals.   They both will play sports at college, with Brandon running three seasons at Fordham University and Shannon playing field hockey at American International College.

Holliston High School graduate Jake Obid and his former teacher Bill Wechsler joined host Tommy Cassell for this week's episode.

Wechsler was diagnosed with ALS in 2016 and was given two to five years to live. Obid credits Wechsler, who was a social worker at Holliston High until 2017, with saving his life as Obid was struggling with school and his life as a sophomore at Holliston.

Obid finished the 2018 Boston Marathon. He ran to pay homage to his former teacher and raised nearly $15K for Team Challenge ALS. He finished the race with a calf injury and possibly a torn meniscus in his knee.

Obid and Wechsler talk about the Boston Marathon, the toughest part of ALS and Obid's plans to follow in Wechsler's footsteps, in an episode that might bring tears to your eyes.

Host Tommy Cassell is joined by 18-year-old Kalman Heims.  Kalman was one of eight skiers who represented the United States in the Freestyle Junior World Championships in Duved, Sweden, where he competed in the moguls events.   Kalman has been skiing since he was 3 years old and currently splits his time between Westborough High and Killington Mountain School in Vermont. Kalman will be graduating from Westborough High in June and taking a gap year at Killington before heading to the University of Michigan.   Heims and Tommy talk about all things skiing (since Tommy is a novice), the plus/minuses of splitting time between two schools, and his newfound hobby --learning how to the guitar.
