The Boston Tear Party
Date: March 17, 1963
Bob Cousy married Missie Ritterbusch in December 1950 and the couple had an atypical wedding night as Cousy played point guard for the Celtics. Pictured here hugging Missie and his two daughters, Marie and Ticia, the family attended Cousy’s retirement at the Boston Garden in 1963. After Cousy choked up giving his speech, the event became colloquially known as the “Boston Tear Party.”
