As the online competition heated up, guests enjoying ice cream on Wednesday evening were unconcerned about the contest.

Several groups from out of town were visiting, some for the first-time — young women who’re playing in a summer ice hockey tournament at The Edge, others making seasonal return visits — a former resident who returns from Los Angeles each year.

And the Lang family had just finished their treats. With a dozen grown-ups and 7 kids, the Lang brothers and their families gathered in Bedford to honor Lt. Col. Jason Lang’s retirement from the U.S. Marine Corps on July 26. As one of the Granddads said, “There are left coast-ers, right-coast-ers, and some from fly-over states!” It had been a long time since everyone had been together.

After a career that included deployment to the American Embassy in Azerbaijan to assignments in Hawaii, Camp Pendleton, and Quantico, Lt. Col. Lang’s final assignment was at Devens and the family has been living on the base at Hanscom.  Fully integrated into the Bedford community through the schools, sports, and the Rotary Club during their tour, Nicole and Jason Lang, along with their daughters, will be missed when they move to Concord, NH in time for school to begin.
