The Boston Red Sox honored Brookline resident Diane Gallagher at Fenway Park Thursday during a pregame commemoration of the Peace Corps 50th Anniversary. Gallagher served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Cape Verde from 1990 to 1992. This year, the agency honored her lifelong commitment to public service with the 2011 Lillian Carter Award. Former volunteer Joe Kennedy III, whose great uncle, President John F. Kennedy, founded the Peace Corps in 1961, threw out the first pitch.
