Rice Street 'fixture' recovers jewelry, reaffirms bond with North End community

Vivian Clausen was robbed May 21 of a precious item, a 14-karat gold necklace she received from her husband, Andrew, when he returned from serving in World War II. The following Saturday the assailant, Allen Fenton, 49, was apprehended and later charged with the theft. By Thursday, May 28, her necklace had been located in a pawn shop and returned to her.
