HI JOEY ~~
I was down in Boston at the Marathon Memorial space in Copley Square and it was nice to see Gloucester represented. Thought you might like to share this picture with your readers.
I work with Fred and Stephanie Buck in the archives at the Cape Ann Museum. I’m an avid fan of GMG.
Peace ~~ Bing McGilvray, Gloucester

Down the dirt path, pass the horse pasture and over the rocks to one of the best spots for a little sea glass and a few tidal pools.

Mad Hot Ball Photos from Martin Del Vecchio
Martin Del Vecchio submits-
Joey,
The Mad Hot Ball is my favorite Gloucester event. Every year, every 5th-grader in GPS participates in this wonderful event, and every single one of them puts this non-dancer to shame.
I took a few photos of this year’s event, and I have posted them at:

Gloucester Shack Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A shack is a type of small, often primitive shelter or dwelling. The word may derive from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word xahcalli [ʃaʔ’kalːi] or “adobe house” by way of Mexican Spanish xacal/jacal, which has the same meaning as “shack”.[1] It was a common usage among people of Mexican ancestry throughout the U.S. southwest and was picked up by speakers of American English.
An alternative etymology is that shack derives from teach, pronounced chaċ, meaning “house” in Irish Gaelic, which was absorbed into American English from the 1880s onwards. Similarly shanty may have derived from the Gaelic seantigh, prounced shan-tí, meaning “old house”, at a time when Irish migrants lived in New York’s tenements.[2]
It is possible that up to a billion people worldwide live in shacks.[3] Fire is a significant hazard in tight-knit shack settlements.[4] Shack settlements are also sometimes known as slums or shanty towns.

Two fabulous events today–E.J.’s Mug Up and the Twin Lights Half Marathon! Somehow, cheesecake and mimosas sealed the deal for us. Either way, it’s another gorgeous day on Cape Ann!

Len Burgess submits-
Barry O’Brien and his volunteer teachers, Len Burgess, Kathy Chapman, Dave Delorey, Tony Schettino, and Mike Dyer, lead an intense photo workshop at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum Saturday to help raise money for the Museum. We had perfect weather and enthusiastic attendees. Here’s the class picture taken by Dave Delorey (who magically always manages to get into the photo too).
