I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. Here is Ernest Morin, incredible photographer and one of the original Gloucester Guerillas. Ernie showed his documentary slide show of the Fort at the first Block Party.
The camera in front of his grill is 100 percent customized. Each piece comes from a different camera. He put all of them together and what you see is what you get. He told me what all these different parts were but my memory fails me so I’ll just list all the different parts and models that make up this one of a kind piece of equipment.

I’ve always wanted to do a rock garden. I must have gotten it from my Nana Lowe. There are little dirt pockets up the rock wall and I could picture what I wanted . So after doing some research online, I went over to Marshall’s on Concord St. and bought a bunch of perennials. This is a huge commitment, but I think the end result will be worth it. Tomorrow we do the vegetables. Now I just have to figure out what’s eating the basil…




t. Carlo’s was packed last night. The band, Exit 11, rocked the house. The guys hadn’t played together for a couple of years, but you’d never know it. Frank Gentile, Jim Frontiero, Mike Lindberg, Pete Malaquias each on instruments and doing vocals had the place dancing and singing along.Their accapellas were incredible. Familiar songs done uniquely their way.
