Summer dreams…
“Summer dreams, ripped at the seams, but oh those summer nights…”

Look at That Check!
The final dollar amount raised from this year’s Bluefin Blowout for the Alzheimer’s Association was announced last night at a check presentation evening at the Beauport Hotel.
In all, the 7th Annual Bluefin Blowout raised an incredible $155,000 to help End Alzheimer’s. Phenomenal people doing amazing things.

Gloucester Bacheler Civil War Coat Aug 2018 Update
Charles and George King write, “The state of the art museum case has landed! Gloucester artist Jason Burroughs, John Christopher (aka Bonesy) and our mom took care of the assembly and installation at the high school. The set up prep went smoothly with help from Joan Dallin, Adam, Principal Cook, Joe Lucido, Heidi Dallin, and Mike Hale. It’s not 100% finished. An information label will be added soon, and a rededication will be announced for a later date. The field house was named after Bacheler at one time so the placement is cool for that, too.”

Great Americans
John McCain’s death brings to mind patriotism, so my eye (and camera) turn toward the boulevard flags. It’s worth a minute to remember these flags have been dedicated to loved ones and represent people’s hopes and lives. Here’s in memory of Mary L. Crowingshield.
