On Monday afternoon, family, friends and veterans came together at the Belle Isle Bridge to wish the best of luck to Hunter Fife as he embarks on his journey with the Air Force en route to boot camp followed by active duty.
A proud 2024 graduate of Winthrop High School, Hunter made his mark playing varsity hockey and lacrosse. But beyond the field and the rink, he is a son, a brother, a friend—a young man deeply rooted in the love of his family and his town. He lives with his parents, Heather and Tim, his brother Dylan, and their loyal dog, Roxy.
As he steps into this next chapter, first through boot camp and then into firefighter training as an Air Force airman, Hunter carries with him the strength and support of those who stood by him on this day. Also present for the stand-out were Winthrop American Legion Post 146 veterans, and members of the Winthrop Police and Winthrop Fire Departments. According to Kim Adamson, Hunter’s aunt, “The unwavering support from the veterans, police and fire, and Hunter’s family and his friends who were able to show up – many are away at college – this shows the power of our community and the bonds that tie us together!”
