Max De Pree Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
November 15, 2013
“We cannot become who we want to be by remaining who we are.”
Max De Pree (1924- )
A Michigan native, Max De Pree is the son of D. J. De Pree, who started the very successful Herman Miller furniture company. Max and his brother Hugh ran and expanded the company from the 60’s up into the 90’s. He has written extensively on leadership in both the business and non-profit communities and his Leadership is an Art was a best seller. In the mid 1950’s he commissioned Charles and Ray Eames to design a home in Zeeland, close to corporate headquarters. It remains an icon of modernist architecture and interior design.

Man Supports the Arts With Statement to His Ex…
Amazing lengths some people will go to.. Perhaps this guy should have moved on long ago, but no. He buys a house next-door to his Ex and installs a work of art for her to admire.. A very expensive hand gesture. Click the article to read more! Jeez, can you believe this?

Saturday, November 16, 2013 is for lighthouses
nb. Click photos to embiggen. The Twin Lights show the flaw of shooting with a tiny lens in the iPhone 5. I can straighten the horizon but the towers are leaning towards each other. Larger cameras, more glass in the lens, and shooting with the camera straight on and not pointing up can eliminate most of this convergence. Last ditch there is always Photoshop to straighten out structures leaning in.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving
The GHS Photography Class Fundraiser hosted by Lillian LoGrasso and her daughter Alessia on Friday evening was a smashing success. The Cruisport Gloucester ballroom was bustling with shoppers and dancers all night! Lillian writes,”I don’t have the grand total yet because money keeps coming in…. but I can tell you that each kid will get a nice dent in their trip due to all of YOU! ”
Today I thought I share a personal highlight from Friday evening’s event. My daughter Amanda, and mother Pat were busy handing out samples of my Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Dip recipe from my cookbook to shoppers, while I personally signed copies of my newly released “Gifts Of Gold In A Sicilian Kitchen With Sista Felicia, Harvest.” A handsome man sporting a hat very similar in style to one my grandfather once wore(Cappedu hat) caught my eye while waiting in line at the GMG/Sista Felicia Table….I was experiencing a moment when someone looks familiar, but you just can’t put a name to the face at that very second. He stepped up to the table, picked up a copy of the cookbook, and asked to see page 86 & 87. My daughter Amanda assisted him in finding the page, and he pointed to a gentlemen’s photo on page 86 and said “That’s me!” I couldn’t get around the table fast enough to give him a big hug. I asked him if he knew my grandfathers, he chuckled and replied “my name is Sam LoGrasso, and I know all your family and your father Libby too.” Fighting back tears, I asked if he would be willing to take a photo together. He kindly agreed. Thank you Sammy, you made my night!

Day Two With The CVS Brand Razor Blades
Took a half hour to stop the bleeding
I will chronicle my experience in my quest for the best shaving solution in light of the insane cost of Gillette razor blades and complete brutality inflicted with generic store brand razor blades.
Based on many recommendations I signed up for dollarsharve club. The premise sounds outstanding and if it works half as good as Chris DeWolfe and Rick Doucette claim it does I’ll be psyched.
I ordered the middle of the line razors-

Manchester by the Shop – Central Street Gallery
11 Central Street
Located at 11 Central Street in Manchester, the Central Street Gallery is an artists cooperative. Gallery Director Alison Rowell says that they have about 14 members who each rent wall space in the gallery which starts off at a width of approximately 73″. The artists can hang as many paintings as are practical.
The focus of the gallery is a traditional Plein Aire style with the paintings set in gold frames. There are some deviations on the theme providing some different styles though the general style for paintings is still life and landscapes.
Each member of the Gallery agrees to rent space and also to paint 5-6 new paintings every two months which they deliver framed and ready for hanging. The Gallery presents six shows each year so the collection of paintings is changing every two months. To give each artist equal opportunity to the better display areas on the walls, every two months each artist rotates their space three wall spaces, guaranteeing each artist equal time in the front window.
Central Street Gallery is celebrating their fifth year at 11 Central Street and will be starting their next show with an opening night reception on December 7th. This show will focus on smaller works from the artists.
In addition to the Gallery there is a website (www.central street gallery.com) where more of each artist’s works are shown.
The artists are generally local with a number living in Manchester and Gloucester. Central Street Gallery is a great place to support local artists and is clearly a place to check out.
