How Does This Good Egg Spend Her Birthday? Why Cleaning The Streets Of Gloucester, That’s How!
A little birdie Ed Collard told me it was a very special person’s birthday today. Not any ordinary citizen but super dooper, over-the-top Gloucester helper and lover Donna Ardizzoni’s Birthday.
Now you may know Donna as the woman who organizes the One Hour at a Time Gang Saturday morning volunteer clean up crew or you may know her as a Board of Director on the Chamber of Commerce or you may know her from seeing pictures of her cleaning at the very end of the night after everyone enjoyed the Block Parties and she was right there with us making sure the streets were completely clean so that permitting for subsequent Block Parties would go smoothly.
But today was her birthday. A day that is for one’s self. And Donna one who is the ultimate doer as opposed to many out there that like to talk but never take action was out cleaning the streets of Gloucester with her group of One Hour At a Time Gangers- On Her Birthday.
So next time you see Donna- Give her a pat on the back and an atta girl. She’s one hell of a good egg!
Happy Birthday Donna From Your Buddy Joey! First Drink Is On Me At Next Week’s Block Party! Woot!

Let Your Boy Joey Explain it For You The Best Way I Know How- Through Pictures and Video
Heather Atwood has been looking for a lead for her upcoming story which you will be able to read in her Wednesday Column in The Gloucester Daily Times.

I was talking to Jane Enos from the Beacon yesterday about some old WPA photos of Gloucester fishermen included in the Library of Congress. I didn’t have much luck finding those photos, but I did find several by this woman. Her prints can be found in museums throughout the country.
