Good Morning Gloucester 
Love this! I remember him. I grew up in East Gloucester and I saw him often. I was fascinated by him. This is a great portrait–it perfectly captures the person, the time, and the place.

There is a children’s book about him by Ruth Holmberg. It was a favorite of mine growing up. I also remember seeing him many times on the road to Rockport.
