Roger Cressey- Gloucester Guy Gone Big Time

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Roger is I think s a year or so ahead of my class and I believe he played on The Building Center’s Babe Ruth team.

Here are a bunch of his video clips

Roger can be seen reporting for NBC like he was this weekend.  He’s even got his own wikipeidia page-

Cressey received his Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 1987 and a Master of Arts in security policy studies from George Washington University in 1991.[2] He has taught a graduate course on U.S. counter-terrorism policy at Georgetown University,[3] where he is currently an adjunct professor.[2]

Cressey worked at the Department of Defense, including as Deputy Director for War Plans. From 1991–95, he served in the Department of State, working on Middle East Security issues. He has also served overseas with the U.S. Embassy in Israel and with United Nations peacekeeping missions in Somalia and the former Yugoslavia.[3]

He was Chief of Staff to the President’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board at the White House from November 2001 to September 2002. From November 1999 to November 2001, he was Director for Transnational Threats on the National Security Council staff, where he was responsible for coordination and implementation of US counterterrorism policy. During this period, he managed the U.S. Government’s response to the Millennium terror alert, the USS Cole attack, and the September 11th attacks.[3]

In 2002, Cressey founded the corporate security company Good Harbor Consulting.

An on-air counter-terrorism analyst for NBC News, Cressey has been awarded the State Department’s Meritorious and Superior Honor Awards, and the Defense Department’s Exceptional Civilian Service Award.

Cressey has been a foreign policy advisor to President Barack Obama, but not exclusively.[4]

Note the name of his company- Good Harbor Consulting

Good Morning Gloucester- The Poem

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Last night an interesting swath of diverse Gloucester folk were invited to recite their favorite poem at the Sawyer Free Library.  I happened to be one of those people invited to read.  Instead of reading someone else’s poem I decided it would be a good idea to work on my own after our good FOB Deb Clarke suggested the idea.  With a little help from Snoop Maddie Mad and The Bean we put together a little something.

I’m not sure why I get so goddamn emotional when I speak about G-Town.  Not sure if you can tell from the video but I was pretty much a wreck.  It probably had something to do with not wanting to do a disservice to the city I love or the blog for which I’m obviously insanely passionate about but I sort of get overwhelmed at times when I speak about them.

Anyway I’d like to thank the Sawyer Free Library Lyceum and host Rufus Collinson for inviting me.  I’d like to thank my great poetry contributors Snoop Maddie Mad and The Bean, and I’d like to thank everyone who came out for the event including our very own E.J.

Written and Read For The Sawyer Free Library Lyceum Sponsored Program- Gloucester Reads Poetry

Look for many of the other invited readers’ videos as the week goes on, I know the camera ran out of memory about half way through so I didn’t get to capture everyone unfortunately.
