• Mary Ellen Grace McEwen (leesburg-news.com) — Medford figures prominently in the early life of Mary Ellen Grace McEwen, who lived in the Medford Hillside neighborhood, attended Hobbs Junior High, and spent time at the old Medford Bowl before settling in Arlington and later Florida. Her obituary recalls a long life of faith, family, artistic creativity, and community involvement, culminating in a funeral Mass in Eustis, Florida on September 4.
• Yale's Mae-ling Lokko Recognized for Her Work in Architectural Design (jbhe.com) — A Yale architecture professor being honored for her work once studied at Tufts University in Medford, highlighting a local link to global research on sustainable, bio-based building materials. Her career now spans teaching at Yale, directing ecological design research, and running a Ghana-based practice that connects communities with innovative, low-carbon construction.
• Meet The American Billionaire Running The Premier League's Liverpool FC (forbes.com) — Medford gets a brief but notable mention as the home of Tufts University, where billionaire Mike Gordon studied before rising to lead operations for Liverpool FC and help own the Red Sox.
