See today’s Gloucester Daily Times for more information and a superb story by Ray Lamont on GMG contributor Catherine Ryan’s son’s efforts to raise money to restore the Civil War coat worn by veteran Alfred Bachelor, who served for 20 years as the Gloucester High School principal during the turn of the previous century (1884-1914).
To donate to help rehabilitate Gloucester’s historic Civil War coat:
Visit YouCaring.com, and search for “Civil War Bacheler coat caper” and follow instructions on how to contribute.
Send a check with “Civil War coat” written in the check’s memo field to The Gloucester Fund, 45 Middle St., Gloucester, MA 01930, or Committee for the Arts, c/o Gloucester City Hall, 9 Dale Ave., Gloucester MA 01930.
Please donate to these super civic-minded brothers Charles and George. Here they are helping with spring cleaning and planting at the Harbor Walk Gardens, where they have lent a hand and many Sunday mornings. They are truly awesome kids!
To date the boys have raised approximately $1,000.00 of the goal of $3,500.00 needed to restore the coat.
Good Morning Gloucester
