“If you are going through hell, keep going.”

Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Born to an English nobleman in the line of the Dukes of Marlborough and an American heiress, Churchill, though a weak student, distinguished himself early as a writer, soldier and war correspondent. Covering the Boer War in South Africa he wrote home: “Nothing is so exhilarating as being shot at without result.” Rising through the ranks of government ministries he became a Member of Parliament at 26 and First Lord of the Admiralty at 37. He was among the first to recognize the threat that Adolf Hitler posed and was elected Prime Minister at the outbreak of the WWII, famously rallying his people in the Battle of Britain. Knighted for his service to the UK and a Fellow of the Royal Society, Churchill was also the first person to be named an Honorary Citizen of the United States. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 for his six-volume masterpiece The Second World War, a chronicle of tenacity. “Success is going from failure to failure without losing one’s enthusiasm.”

Mission To The Edge Of Space

WATCH IT LIVE

http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/

Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will attempt to transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. His attempt to dare atmospheric limits holds the potential to provide valuable medical and scientific research data for future pioneers.

The Red Bull Stratos team brings together the world’s leading minds in aerospace medicine, engineering, pressure suit development, capsule creation and balloon fabrication. It includes retired United States Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who holds three of the records Felix will strive to break.

Hi Everyone,

The Cape Ann Painters and Photographer Group will meet on Monday, October 15 from 9:30-11AM at The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck, 6 Wonson Street.

All are welcome.  Hope to see you there.  If you’re grouchy in the morning before you have your coffee – stop by Last Stop for one on the way. 

 

from 94.3 MAX-FM:

“Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month people are coming up with unique ways to celebrate and support the cause, or in this case support the cause without support. today is being deemed by many, “No Bra Day.”

After doing a little research into what could have become my favorite day of the year after my birthday, I found that there is an actual National No Bra Day in on July 9th. That means that this is just some made up day, most likely by a guy who is in need of seeing some breasts covered only by shirts rather than bras and shirts.

People all over social media are buying into it, and it is fine by me… Raise awareness for a good cause, and have a little fun doing it!”

Lifelong Rockport resident and FOB, Christina Corliss and hubby, Jay Rourke are heading for warmer climes and moving to Englewood, FL.  The couple ran the Halyard Guest House in Rockport for twelve years.  They obviously can’t leave Cape Ann for good, and plan to return for summer visits, and of course keep up with things here on Good Morning Gloucester.

Hi Joey,

We’ve all been working hard to create a WONDERFUL  event for arts lovers of all kinds.    Along with friends and fellow board members – Kris Fisher, Susan Boles, Seyrel Williams, Jo-Anne Crawford, Bill Bode, and many more – we’d love your support for Celebrate Emerging Stars!…..for those of you who can’t believe how time flies – the early bird tickets ($85)  need to be bought or postmarked by this Friday, October 12^th.

In case you haven’t received a flyer or seen it online, we have been extremely fortunate to engage the Cape Ann Big Band and the BHS Jazz Sextet for a great evening of music & dancing at Bass Rocks Golf Club.  It’s so rare to find a nice place to enjoy danceable music infused with jazz, swing, soul, and rock n’ roll!

We have over a dozen tremendous emerging artists to showcase at our event – many surprise entries – their work will be for sale and we want to support them as well as the fabulous show on the walls at Bass Rocks.

We also have a wonderful raffle planned (tickets on sale now here) that includes donations from: Susan Hershey, Jenny Rangan, Beth Williams, Cape Ann Museum, Peabody-Essex Museum, Rockport Music, and Duckworth Bistro.

The silent auction will have very exciting, exclusive items!  A piece from Mahri Jewelry, a skype guitar lesson with LARRY CORYELL,  a painting by JANIS SANDERS valued at $2500 to name a few.

It’s an exciting time – getting ready to launch a beautiful  new website in early November.  (we have a select number of sponsor spots on the website available too!)

Please come and join us on the dance floor and support our work to grow our local creative economy!
