Friends from Woods Hole just told me that Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish are playing this Friday at the Rhumb Line. I’ve heard these guys many times. They’re a great band! Let’s give them a warm welcome here in Gloucester and I promise you , your body will just get up and dance.

Hi Joey,

Could you please run the attached poster on GMG as we are seeking book donations for our June book sale? Since everyone is snowed in, it might be a good opportunity to start spring cleaning.

Thanks.

Hi Joey:
Great talking to you on Saturday night.  As per our conversation about Gilligan Lovasco, here is some relevant information.
Gilligan’s obituary can be found at www.pikenewhall.com .  Click on obituaries and on the next page click on Gilligan’s picture to read the obituary.
His celebration of life, as noted in the obit, will occur at the Gloucester Elks, 30 Atlantic Road, Gloucester, Ma, on Saturday March 7, 2015, from 2-6 PM.  I will serve as master of ceremonies and the entire affair will be, as noted in the obit, very casual.  Chelsea Berry will be singing, and their will be food and also a brief prayer by Reverend Jim, (whoever he may be)!  Anyone who knew Gilligan is invited, and welcome, to attend.  Thank you for your interest Joey.
Best regards,
“Don Juan”

Hi Joey,

I’ve been enjoying all the photos on your blog and thought you might have a use for these photos of the Unitarian Cemetery after the first storm and the last storm. It is the oldest Unitarian Cemetery in the United States.

James S. Gordon, MD (194?-    )

A New York native and the son and grandson of physicians, Gordon graduated from Harvard in the sixties and served as a volunteer doctor in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and at the Woodstock music festival. He developed programs at the National Institutes of Mental Health that explored alternative approaches to chronic disease and is himself a registered acupuncturist. In the 1990’s he founded the Center for Mind-Body Medicine and is a leader in the study of integrating mental and physical health, including nutrition and trauma relief. His most recent work has focused on educating patients to care for themselves and combatting depression through a holistic program of integrated mental and spiritual work. I could find no evidence that he is related to the police commissioner of Gotham.
