True Few- Jr. Women’s Champs!
From the Gloucester Daily Times
By Nick Curcuru
Staff Writer
The True Few dueled with On the Rise the entire way out to the flag. It was a back and forth battle with both crews gaining their share of small leads. To top it all off, both crews went into the turn at the same time.
The True Few, however, came away with a slight lead thanks to a slick turn from scuttler Joe Balbo. A few strokes later, The True Few built a boat lead, another 100 yards further, the eventual champions extended their lead to three boats. By the time they hit the beach, The True Few turned the championship race from a deadlock at the halfway mark, to a resounding win of more than five boats by the time the race was finished.

Oar’ Dacious Wins!
Up until 11:30 yesterday morning Debbie Giacalone Kelly was prepared to coach the crew on to victory. But then she got the call that a rower had injured her arm and could Debbie take her place. Debbie hadn’t rowed in 2 years. Her arm’s been bothering her. But she said “Yes” and the rest is history! The crew celebrated at the Dog Bar in style! What a night!
Congratulations to the Oar’Dacious crew!

I had my first sausage sandwich of the Fiesta Wednesday morning around 10:00AM. Ambie was all set up outside of the Fort Square Cafe. Sausage sandwiches with the peppers and onions are a must during Fiesta.

Hangin’ with Damon, Jim B, Frank, and other GMG folks was great!

Fiesta Faces – Last Night’s Novena
Even with the rain, the former Doyon’s was packed. Father Garaboldi and Father Harrison greeted the participants, young and elderly. Greg Cook’s new baby is adorable. Santo Militello looks healthy and tanned. Tony Testaverde told me about his new Fiesta walking stick that he wants photos of on Friday.
Although the walk from St. Peter’s Square to the end of Beach Ct. was wet, several people followed the statue through the streets to hear Father Garaboldi pray for the fishermen lost this year.
Now we need to pray for sunshine and good weather for the rest of Fiesta!
