My View of Life on the Dock
I think these are Gloucester’s wind turbines, looking across Ipswich Bay. The photo was taken at Sandy Point. Please write if you believeĀ otherwise. Thank you!
Super windy and chilly Saturday afternoon but nonetheless beautiful. IĀ renewed ourĀ annual Parker River National Wildlife RefugeĀ pass, which is good for one year, and think it is the best twenty dollarsĀ spent. Kudos for being the cutest pass, too!

The Seaside Garden Club welcomes the Backyard Growers on Tuesday, April 11, 7 pm at the Manchester Community Center. Guests are welcome, $5 fee.
Backyard Growers (BYG) is a grassroots organization helping to reshape Gloucesterās relationship with food. We provide resources and support to establish vegetable gardens and accompanying programming at homes, housing communities, organizations, and schools.

Rockport resident, Rose was a notable North Shore physicist and entrepreneur who founded seminal global manufacturing companies inĀ GloucesterĀ (Extrion Corp. 1971/ then Varian/now Applied) and Beverly (Nova Assoc, 1978)/now Axcelis).Ā Who were the customers? Who wasn’t! Intel, IBM, …Rose received a National Medal of Technology in 1996 for his work on ion implantation. He was awarded a PhD in physics in 1955 from London University.
I enjoyed thisĀ video clip from a panel discussion held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, April 1-2, 2008:
Risto Puhakka Moderator: “A lot of the ion implantation technology really came from the– and still isĀ in– the North Shore of Boston. What was the biggest contributing factor that it all practically came from there which is today’s ion implementation technology?”
And in fact we did suffer– or maybe we didn’t suffer– from the fact that we were isolated from silicon valley. I’ve often wondered what would have happened if we started a company (there) my guess is that there would have been 20 start-ups in the second year. Luckily we’re far enough away that the technology didn’t leak out quite so quickly.”

The panel was part of a conference organized by SEMI and the Chemical Heritage Foundation called Empowering the Silicon Revolution: the Past, Present and Future of the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Industry, held April 1-2, 2008 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
