Hillary Clinton in Gloucester Today
Did you know that Hillary and Bill Clinton were in Gloucester today. We didn’t see Bill, but Hillary came to the women’s breakfast in support of Carolyn Kirk at Castle Manor Inn this morning, along with her entourage of secret service gals. It was very impressive.

If you’re cleaning out your old Gloucester house or the one you grew up in..

If you’re cleaning out your old Gloucester house or the one you grew up in..
Be sure to give the Cape Ann Museum a call.
When I cleaned out my dad’s basement in East Gloucester this summer, I
came across tons of Gloucester memorabilia from the 1960’s, 70’s and
80’s.
..old programs from the Cape Ann Symphony when it used to play at the
Fuller School…
…theater programs from the Gloucester Stage Company when it staged
its plays at the BlackburnTavern…
…GHS graduation programs…
…Gloucester postcards from the 1950’s…
…announcements from the Rockport Art Association containing min bios
of members from the 1940’s…
All sorts of stuff, valuable and not, ephemeral and permanent, that
captured eras of not-recent Gloucester history.
Anyhow, I stuffed all of the paper and books and Gloucester
knickknacks into a box, and the archivist from the museum came over to
pick through it. She took a lot for the museum archives, sent a deed
of gift later in the mail, and mentioned that she wished more
Gloucester residents would call the museum come time to clean out
their parent’s homes.

Alex Sands writes ~
Hi Kim,
I would like to invite you to an upcoming event in which I think that you may be interested. On November 9th I am co-hosting a free presentation titled “Explore the Possibilities for Transforming Your Landscape into a Garden of Eden”. Our presentation will discuss the basics of permaculture and ecological design and look at the many common and uncommon edible plants which can be grown in our area. Permaculture is a design system which uses principles which facilitate health and abundance in natural ecosystems to enhance human systems. I am co-hosting this event with Kay Cafasso, an extraordinary permaculture educator form western Mass.. The presentation will take place at the Lanesville Community Center on Saturday, November 9th from 1 to 3 PM.
Could you please share this information on GoodMorningGloucester? I have attached our flyer.
I hope to see you there!
Thank you,
Alex

Manchester Essex Football Win 22-8 Make Championship Tournament!
With a 22-18 win over the Amesbury Indians Friday night at Hyland Field, the Manchester Essex Hornets secured their place in the post season playoffs. Coming from behind several times in the game, the Hornets fought back and put it away with a touchdown and 2 point conversion with less than 40 seconds left to play. A key to the win had to be the late 4th quarter defensive stop made by the Hornets on a 3rd and VERY short attempt by Amesbury setting up the offense with good field position and just enough time.
