GLOUCESTER’S OWN DR. HANNAH KIMBERLEY FEATURED ON PBS SPECIAL: UNLADYLIKE 2020!! VIDEO HERE!

Posted on by Craig Kimberley

Yes, I’m a damn proud husband today. After watching years, and years, and years of archiving, research, studying, and interviews, my wife’s book came to fruition. It’s a story of one of the most accomplished mountain climbers in American history, and history almost left her behind, that is, until Hannah found her for us all. The climber was Annie Smith Peck, and the book Hannah authored is A Woman’s Place is at the Top (St. Martins Press).

Well, today it has come full circle! This amazing production filled some extremely talented women approached Hannah about being a part of this stunning and amazing special. So please, take a few minutes to be entertained and maybe even inspired!!

Hannah is in one video that is part of a series. From March 4 through August 26, 2020, UNLADYLIKE2020 will be releasing 26 short films and a broadcast hour on PBS American Masters profiling diverse and little-known American women from the turn of the 20th century, and contemporary women who follow in their footsteps. The video that features Hannah is narrated by Lorraine Toussaint from “Orange Is the New Black” and the film “Selma.” And the voiceover for Annie Peck is performed by Julianna Margulies from the television series” ER” and “The Good Wife.” So Hannah is in good company!

Great job Dr.K!!!

There in the fog stands the Annisquam Light. A bit more difficult to see than usual, but no less beautiful.  Thank you to Paul Horovitz for sharing this photo.

A Little Help Here? Flakey Fishing Boots.

Posted on by Nichole S.

Someone in this fine fishing village must have a fix for this.  Finn asked for a pair of fishing boots for Christmas.  He wanted either xtratuf or Grundens.  I searched kind of high and wide for a Youth pair in his size that wasn’t super expressive.  I was psyched to find a pair at a pretty discounted rate…..and tucked them away until Christmas morning.  As he unwrapped them and saw the label on the box he was pumped.  He threw the box open…..and, well, not so much.  While I ordered a Youth Size 5….what was in the box was a Child size 5 that are, no joke, like six inches long.  They are the cutest little things you’ve ever seen….but, they weren’t going to work for Finn.

So, long story short, as the weather has turned nice and Finn is fishing as much as possible, I remembered that I “owed” him a new pair in his proper size.   We found an awesome pair of Grundens and he’s in love with them!  He’s probably worn them about 7 times and suddenly they are peeling and flaking like crazy.  At first I thought it was a film of salt on them that could be wiped off….but, it’s actually more like a layer is literally deteriorating.   So, my question is, can anyone recommend a product that will bring some life back to them?    I appreciate any help and ideas!  Thanks in advance!
