My View of Life on the Dock
There’s definitely a learning curve using the wood and charcoal. Using the gas insert we got it right off the bat and crushed it.
Keep in mind this is our first shot regulating temps with wood and charcoal. I’m sure we made plenty of mistakes. The pizzas were still delicious but we’ve got room for improvement on our techniques using the wood and charcoal.
Gloucester400™ today officially launched The 400 Stories Project with a Call for Stories to all Gloucester residents and the announcement of an online public meeting via Zoom™ on Wednesday, April 29th at 7:00 p.m. (EDT). There are two ways to attend the meeting. Residents can join the Zoom Meeting using this web address: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81198170443 or attend the Facebook Live event (available via the Gloucester400 Facebook page).
In keeping with the city’s quadricentennial theme, “Our People, Our Stories,” the goal of The 400 Stories Project is to collect, preserve, and share the stories of Gloucester’s people from throughout its 400-year history. Beginning today and continuing through 2023, residents of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to submit true stories and factual accounts about memorable people from Gloucester they have known. Through these stories, the Project seeks to commemorate the rich diversity, strength of character, and unique accomplishments (large or small) that have connected the people of Gloucester today and across the centuries. Detailed information, ideas, and instructions for how to submit stories are available on the Gloucester400 website, www.GloucesterMA400.org/400Stories.
There’s No Better Time for a Good Story Than Now
Today’s Call for Stories follows the partnership recently struck with Endicott College’s Center for Oral History (see Feb. 14, 2020 new release, “Endicott College and Gloucester400™ Partner to Collect and Preserve the City’s Fascinating Oral History”). In addition, project organizers understand that during this period of social distancing, many households have newfound time to reflect and share experiences, anecdotes — even tell a few tall tales. This combination of events inspired the launch of this citywide undertaking as a means of bringing people together in spirit while, for reasons of safety, they must be physically apart.
Bruce Tobey, tri-chairperson of the Gloucester400™ steering committee and president of Gloucester Celebration Corporation explained, “In recent weeks, as we’ve practiced social distancing and self-quarantine, many of us have felt the need for safe reconnection with our community. This time has given us more opportunities to reminisce about friends, loved ones, and the unforgettable characters who have shaped our lives, history, and future. For me, personally, the recent passing of my friend, Joe Orange, underscored how much his life touched Gloucester and generations to come. Fortunately, through the work and generosity of Jason Grow, Joe’s story was recorded in photographs and the recollections of those who knew him.” [Photo available]
An award-winning photographer, Jason Grow captured the story of Joe Orange while creating his recent series on Cape Ann’s World War II veterans. Jason’s photos, interviews, and many memories from the community have already helped preserve the legacies of Gloucester’s veterans, including Joe Orange.
“Think for a moment,” Tobey continued. “How many of us have friends, family, and neighbors whose stories deserve to be told and retold? So, at this time, when we have a chance to reflect more deeply and often on those we’ve known and respected, we hope Gloucester residents will tell us more of the stories of our people. We are committed to uncovering, preserving, and commemorating the City’s history through accounts of the lives of its people.”
What Makes a Good Gloucester Story?
Factual stories of many kinds about Gloucester and its people are welcome. Narratives, vignettes, and ideas can be found everywhere, from the stories of the men, woman, and children who shaped our history to present-day accounts of individuals and groups whose contributions to our everyday lives come from the arts, education, industry, traditions, families, and neighborhoods.

Ideas may also be submitted immediately; but, for more guidance, Gloucester residents are encouraged to join the Zoom call on April 29th at 7:00 p.m.here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81198170443 or to visit the Gloucester400 Facebook Live event that will be streamed at the same time.

It’s Cazeault Solar & Home! “Best Of The North Shore Magazine”
The Readers of “BONS” magazine awarded us Number #1 for Solar and Home.
We are thrilled that you voted for us and we wanted to say a sincere Thank You to you.
We also wanted to tell our dedicated staff that, “You Are The Best!”.
Fill out the form or email me at goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com and I’ll have lifelong Gloucester resident Tim Sanborn from Cazeault Solar call you to go over your options for free.
Today is the 50th Anniversary of ‘Earth Day.’ Be sure to spend some time in nature today, in gratitude, as you celebrate this wondrous planet where we all live. We are the earth’s caregivers and protectors, and that was never more evident and important than now. As Astronaut Carl Sagan’s photo demonstrated and spoke of, the earth is but a tiny speck of dust in the Universe. “Everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives,” Sagan later wrote. “On a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”Candy Hansen, a planetary scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who worked on the Voyager imaging team noted, “It also made me think about how vulnerable our tiny planet is.”

| Dear hometown friends,
I hope this finds you staying safe and sane as we move into what feels like week 462 of social distancing. I also hope you’ll join me on May 6 for a very special event to launch THE BOOK OF V. here on Cape Ann. Who: I’ll be in conversation with my dear teacher and friend Charlotte Gordon––and YOU! Please mark the date! And if you’re able to, please support our local small business, The Bookstore of Gloucester, by calling 978-281-1548 or emailing gloucesterbookstore@gmail.com and pre-ordering a signed copy of THE BOOK OF V. Thank you! Though this event is open to anyone anywhere in the world (feel free to share!) I’m sending this to folks on and around Cape Ann in the hopes that many of you will recognize each other––and we might create together a much-needed boost of community and connection. It’s never been truer that I cannot wait to see your faces. Thank you! P.S. A cool piece of recent news: The audiobook for THE BOOK OF V. just won an Earphone Award from AudioFile Magazine! These awards go to “truly exceptional titles that excel in narrative voice and style, characterizations, suitability to audio, and enhancement of the text.” Buy it here or anywhere audiobooks are sold.
