Bruce Tobey Gives Vice President Biden An Unopened Cast/Crew Perfect Storm Cap

Hi Joey,
Hey, thought you might get a kick out of the attached photo – I met the Vice President after a Seth Moulton event in Lynn two weeks ago and wanted to give him a gift so Gloucester might be on his mind.  Here’s the story.
In my office I still had in an unopened bag a cast/crew “Perfect Storm” cap I had gotten as Mayor from the movie’s producers back in 1999 when they were shooting in Gloucester.  I brought it with me and gave it to him, wishing him good luck as he faced the inevitable storms of his next couple of years.

He immediately pulled it out of the bag, ripped off the tags, put it on, and began to talk about the storm, the hardships Gloucester’s fishermen face, and his gratitude for the gift. Mission accomplished!

Best,

Bruce

Hey – we are back again this month at the Dog Bar in Gloucester, MA for our second installment of the Winter Sessions Tree House Jams! The first time was a blast, and we hope to continue the trend… and this time, we are donating all of our earnings to the Science All Around Us with Collin Keegan Kickstarter Project! Check out the details of this awesome idea here:

It seems that Collin Keegan plays a pretty mean Viola. It also sounds like he will be joining the Tree House Charlatans for this up coming show at the Dog Bar this Sunday!
Hope to see you there!!

Good Eggs Clean Up Clark cemetary

We would like to send a great thank you to Clean Gloucester for coming to help clean up Clark Cemetery.  It was a very cold 28 degrees when we started at 8 am.  These awesome people came out anyway.  In a flurry of activity trash was picked up, brush was hauled away, a fire pit was dismantled and new community connections were made.  This could not have been a better or more fun end to our season.  Thank you again and we look forward to working with everyone again after the winter!

Joey,

     As you probably know I’m an author with several titles available.  You’ve been kind enough in the past to make announcements when I have a new release.  I will now provide you with the dialogue for the new release.

Gloucester native and author Barry Stacks has a new book for your reading pleasure.  The Black Flag is the third book in the Tucker Norman series.  Once again, the setting for the story is Gloucester, Mass., which is the author’s hometown. The title of the book is taken from a tradition of flying a black flag on a commercial fishing boat when someone has died at sea. In this mystery novel, several fishing boats return to Gloucester flying a black flag. Once again Tucker Norman and Associates are asked by local law enforcement to investigate this unusual situation.  The investigation delivers the reader through a maze of complicated evidence and into a quagmire filled with strange characters, who appear to have a secondary motive for their activities. The reader, as is always the case, is dragged around Cape Ann as our sleuth tries to fit the pieces of the puzzle together.  Also, the reader will find themselves dumped in that pot of boiling water known around the world as Haiti.  This is another thrilling adventure/mystery written especially for the citizens of Cape Ann to enjoy.  In 2015 there will be three more Tucker Norman novels.  Look for Rosie Crud, Johnny Hansom and Floyd in the early Spring of 2015.  Following that release look for Partly Aged Rosemary…And Time around mid-summer 2015.  Finally, around this time next year look for the release of The Boogeyman.  All Barry’s books are available on-line and at your local book store.  Also, if you have trouble finding any of Barry’s books he extends to you an open invitation to contact him via lostboy1007@tampabay.rr.com

     Barry wants to thank all his supporters for their years of dedication.
