Hi Marty.

Here are 4 of my photos I had in an album in my Facebook.

I lost my husband Frank in 2006 to Prostate Cancer. He and I used to drive up to Gloucester often from 1983 onward, and eventually bought a condo at Mast Hill.  Enticed by the warm climate and a business venture in Texas, we ended up selling it, as he wanted to help set up a business for some Indian business acquaintances.

I’ve visited Gloucester about 3-4 times since losing him. It is hard to accept and so I use these pictures occasionally to feel I haven’t lost everything.  They obviously are not capturing the beauty your pictures have, but here they are.

I’ve received nightly Good Morning Gloucester for about 3 years I think.  It makes me feel at home.  I was just there at end of April and stayed a couple days at Long Beach but the photos were overly cloudy and only important and nice to me.  I was used to misty foggy morning walks on the beaches, and so will keep those for myself. My son used to come visit us and he loves the area too and I always liked this that my husband took of us peering into the crevices at the sea creatures.

Thank you.

Best of luck and I will continue to enjoy your pictures on GMG.

Best regards,
Carol Londres

That Vermin Supreme hails from Rockport, MA?  It never ceases to amaze me the interesting people Cape Ann has spawned.

Vermin Love Supreme is an American performance artist, anarchist and activist who is known for his being a satirical candidate in various local, state, and national elections in the United States. Supreme is known for wearing a boot as a hat and carrying a large toothbrush.  He claims that if elected President of the United States, he will pass a law requiring people to brush their teeth. He also campaigned in 2012 on a platform of zombie apocalypse awareness and time travel research, and he promises a pony for every American.  The latter is great as it will dramatically reduce our dependence on foreign oil, fossil fuel emissions, climate change, highway fatalities, and increase organic food production with all that free manure for fertilizer; plus ponies are so cute.   Supreme claims to mock the political system.   In 2011, he participated in the ongoing Occupy Boston protests.

Vermin Supreme is currently campaigning in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. The following are some of the milestones in this campaign:

• October 29, 2011: He qualified to be listed on the 2012 Democratic Party primary ballot in New Hampshire.

• October 29, 2011: He participated in a satirical debate against a representative of the campaign of deceased British occultist Aleister Crowley.

• December 19, 2011: He participated in the Lesser-Known Democratic Candidates Presidential Forum and “glitterbombed” fellow candidate Randall Terry, claiming that Jesus told him to turn Terry gay.

• January 12, 2012: In the 2012 Democratic Primary in New Hampshire, Supreme received 833 votes (Barack Obama won the primary with 49,080 votes).

There are lots more pictures from the Art Haven buoy auction coming soon, but this is definitely one of the best: Iona didn’t know her chair was going to be in the art show and when Aja showed it to her she got this grin on her face and said, “It’s my first art show!!” Can’t beat seeing a proud kid standing next to their artwork…
