Annual Thanksgiving Day Swim Off Wheelers Point Pics From MJ Powers

MJ Writes-

Hi Joey,

Thought you might like to see our 22nd annual Thanksgiving Day swim off Wheeler’s Point into the Annisquam River.  This year we had 54 swimmers.  It started as 4 guys and 6 inches of snow and we have had as many as 70 swimmers.  It is a fantastic tradition that will continue.

“A” Typical Yankee Fan!!!

 

Yeah I know, Baseball season is over but the Yankee Red Sox feud never is.

I gave up on the Red Sox back in 1986. My 2nd Son (of four) Salvatore was  Born, Oct. 11, 1986.

I stayed up rocking and feeding him through the entire Up and Down World Series that year. IMHO The Stanley Steamer not Bill Buckner blew that Series for them!

But Anyways………

I work with one of the Funniest guys I’ve Known in my 30+ years as a Printer. He makes my Day.

 His Name is MIKE CONRAD.

 Mike and the entire CONRAD Family are infamous on Cape Ann for being DieHard Yankee Fans. I’ve rarely seen him without his Ugly Tan Yankees Cap on.

I’m sure some of the GMG Readership know him or one of His Family Members.

Mike turned me on to this Video I’m going to share with you. It’s very short. I’m not sure if the GMG Readership will think it’s Cute, or Disgusting. I vote cute.

 When Mike Showed this to me, He couldn’t stop Laughing. I thought it was cute but not as funny as Mike thought it was. So here it is.

A typical Yankee Fan’s Favorite Youtube Video.

 It explains it all.

My Son told me it’s an Old Video, but I’ve Never seen it before.

THAT MONKEY MUST BE A YANKEE FAN!

 

A 1941 Gloucester Football Scorecard

Almost 69 Years  Gloucester High School beat Winthrop 31-0 at Miller Field in Winthrop. How do we know? The official score card is on Ebay. For me finding this score card sparks visions of a different time in history. When I saw that there was a roster list I said to myself, I bet there was a Frontierro on this team. Sure enough, if you look at the Gloucester substitutes #29 Frontierro – 173 lb Guard.

This game took place less than a month before the attack on Pearl Harbor and I am sure that many of the men who fought on the field went off to serve their country in World War II.  5,600 men and women from Gloucester served in World War II.

Today is veterans day and we at GMG would like to thank all those who have served in the armed forces.  If you see someone in uniform today or a veteran you know, please take the time to thank them and have them share a memory of their service.
