I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

Gloucester is classified as a “Harbor of Refuge,” because it is very protected. It’s one of the few on the New England coast. Smith Cove is known as a “Lake.” You’re so very right, it’s the Home of Safe Harbors.

“In this continuing series, Stars and Stripes looks back at the Vietnam War and the cultural changes that surrounded it. With contributions from the men and women who were there, we will examine how the war was prosecuted, how it changed our military and foreign policy thinking, and how America viewed itself then and now.”
VIETNAM AT 50 Soldier who stood firm against Viet Cong captors inspired fellow POWs, earned Medal of Honor For the men taken captive in 1963, years of torment lay ahead. At home, the nation would descend into increasing turmoil as U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War deepened. Two of the soldiers snatched would return to the United States, but the body of the third, Capt. Humbert “Rocky” Versace, still lies in an unmarked grave somewhere in the Mekong River Delta. 07:18 October 29, 2013

Excellent Photo’s (protection from the elements) here and safe harbor is also used in both Navy and USAF here in the Pacific from typhoons…The Navy many times will go out to sea another location then return when all clear or they may hunker down. The Air Force depending upon strength will fly to another location within Pacific (Safe Haven) of if possible stay above it until passed depending upon many factors logistics and their speed (Aircraft) can wait longer than naval vessels in case the typhoon changed directions if not then take to the air…
