The Quoter is still sailing. Here’s another one of my favorites from the collection for your consideration.

“It is easier to act your way to right thinking than it is to think your way to right action.”

Millard Fuller (1935-2009)

Fuller founded Habitat for Humanity, which has built more than 150,000 homes for those in need in more than 90 countries. Volunteers build houses with the recipients, who then repay the cost of materials at no interest, revolutionizing the way in which philanthropy works. The holder of 50 honorary degrees, Bill Clinton awarded him the Medal of Freedom in 1996.

Hi, Joey,The first “Summer Science Grad Camp” at O’Maley Innovation Middle School has just wrapped up. An enthusiastic group of “graduates” of Grades 7 and 8 at O’Maley spent two weeks working alongside teachers exploring new ideas and innovative projects that could be incorporated into the science curriculum at each of the grade levels in future years.
Grade 7 students and teachers delved into life science studies for a week in the O’Maley “Slime Lab,” studying single-cell organisms, engaging in dissection studies and examining human anatomy with new model torsos that just arrived at the school. They spent another week exploring engineering ideas, culminating a full building event with concrete in the lab. Grade 7 students also had three field trips to the MIT Museum, the Museum of Science and the Harvard Museum of Natural history, all in Cambridge.
Grade 8 students extended the work they had done with the O’Maley 3D printers during the school, applying their new skills to two exciting projects: designing and creating prosthetic hands, and “printing” 3D chocolates (visiting Gloucester’s own Turtle Alley for inspiration)! They worked with e-Nable, an organization that uses 3D printing to produce prothetics, on the design software, and also explored tessellations–using repetitive geometic shapes to create a design on a flat plane.

Hi Joe,

We would like to let you know that TBT Post has a new line of clothing, casual ware in pure cotton (100%) design by a Rockport local graffiti artist (Scott Perdomenico) and manufactured all in the USA (finishing done in Gloucester), this line is called “Winslow” and is a TM property of our company.

Local High School Student Graduates from Sea Cadet Recruit Training

Gloucester resident receives top honor in Naval Sea Cadet Recruit Training

Elizabeth Schuster, age 14 of Gloucester, a member of the David G. Ouellet Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC), recently completed a two-week recruit training at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. At this training, Schuster joined over 200 other young women and men from across New England in completing a rigorous program, which is based on the U.S. Navy’s recruit training curriculum. Sea Cadet boot camp is designed for youth and instills teamwork, discipline and leadership skills in participants.

At the end of this challenging two-week training, Schuster was named Honor Graduate from her group of 40 peers. This award is extremely competitive and granted only to a cadet who displays top performance in several key areas, including leadership, teamwork, motivation and accountability.

During the two-week training, Schuster’s activities included swim qualifications, military drill, damage control, and physical training. “It was a very challenging two weeks, but I met so many great people from around the country and I learned a lot,” Schuster said. Schuster is the daughter of Michael and Heidi Schuster of Gloucester and granddaughter of Louis and Wendy McGrath of Gloucester and Robert and Helen Schuster of

Edinboro, PA.

The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a federally chartered non-profit civilian youth organization for young people, ages 11 through 17 and is supported by both the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. Every year cadets participate in training opportunities such as Navy Special Warfare, SCUBA, field and medical training, photojournalism, military police science and sailing. The program teaches them how to successfully lead groups of their peers and will also inspire them to become leaders in their schools and communities.

The local Sea Cadet unit in Gloucester is currently accepting applications for the 2015-2016 school year. Gloucester Sea Cadets train at the U.S. Coast Guard station two Sundays a month, and also at The Village Training Field in Danvers, MA. For more information, please contact ENS Phillip Strauch at pstrauch@gloucesterseacadets.org or visit the program’s website at www.seacadets.org
