The helping hands behind the rosary
Christopher Quinlan, grandson of Marie Linquata, is the man behind the scenes faithfully helping out each night. Christopher assists guests in and out of the elevator, assembles extra tables and chairs as needed, and keeps the activity in the kitchen running smoothly for “Novena Coffee Time”. He is the perfect role model for our younger generation. Chris is committed to doing his part to keep this deep rooted Sicilian Tradition of “novena” alive for future generations by stepping up to the plate and getting involved. Hat’s off to Christopher! Thank you for all you do.

Brad and Lindsay Wedding From Jeanne Blake
Hi Joey,
You probably have received pictures of last night’s wedding of Brad Pierce and Lindsay Brown on Long Beach. Brad owns the Cape Ann Motor Inn.
It was beautiful — and Brad and Lindsay graciously invited all the neighbors. Party of the year!
Sending some more in the next email.
Enjoy this beautiful day.

Eric Lorden Spotted This White Whale??? In Smith’s Cove Yesterday
He said he heard it breathe when it lifted it’s back out of the water and it’s back came up about 6 or 7 times within 15 minutes or so. The skin was smooth and it was pure white, the whole animal.
What he saw was the back hump come out of the water and then the tail and the tail was split like two points. Can anyone ID what it could have been???
A beluga perhaps?
Cropped-
Updated, a second confirmation from Amy Beaudet:
My father-in-law also saw it yesterday by the paint factory. He said it was a beluga whale. He’ll probably give more details later.

Delmore Schwartz Quote of the Week from Greg Bover
“Existentialism means that no one else can take a bath for you.”
Delmore Schwartz 1913-1966
Born to Jewish parents in Brooklyn, NY, Schwartz attended Columbia and the University of Wisconsin before receiving a degree from New York University. He studied philosophy as a graduate student under the great Alfred North Whitehead at Harvard while he roomed with the poet Robert Lowell. His first book, In Dreams Responsibilities Begin, based on his parents failed marriage, gained him widespread notice. He went on to teach writing at a number of schools including Syracuse and Kenyon. Among his many students and protégés was Saul Bellow, whose Humboldt’s Gift is based on their relationship. Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground also studied with Schwartz, wrote at least two songs in his memory and named him the “first great man I ever met.” Schwartz died at 52, alone and isolated from the world, from complications of alcoholism and mental illness.

ARTIST LOREN DOUCETTE … LIFTS STUDENT ART INTO PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONEETING #2
East Gloucester Elementary School and ART
Hey Joey,
ARTIST LOREN DOUCETTE … LIFTS STUDENT ART INTO PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONEETING #2
East Gloucester Elementary School and ART
Hey Joey,
What happens when artist Loren Doucette exhibits art projects by the entire East Gloucester Elementary student body over two back-to-back family nights?
She lifts it to the level of public art installation. (Ruby McElhenny’s mask J)
That’s Loren’s mom, Diane, helping out.
Thanks to hundreds of display cases –big shout out for the shoe boxes from Mark Adrian Shoes—and a beckoning zippy maze we were treated to a walk in field of masks.
The PTO worked with East Gloucester Elementary to bring Loren and artist Amber LeBlanc (look for her teaching art this summer at YMCA Camp Spindrift) to spend an entire day with each grade. Devoted entirely to art and only art!
Loren’s most recent work—the view from Kate’s balcony– will be on exhibit opening this weekend atFlat Rocks Gallery.
Esteemed artist, Ed Touchette, is the art teacher year round for East Gloucester Elementary school and Veteran’s. So these students have a touch with a master class every week! And Mary Rhinelanderdesigned the school logo.
Special thanks to EGS PTO for such a memorable event.

Happy Summer Solstice
Everywhere I traveled today, it was hard not to notice Rosa rugosa dazzling in bloom, not only becasue it is so pretty, but because of its welcome fragrance. That sublime combination of salty sea air and sweet roses beckons us to live everyday of our fleeting New England summer to the fullest.
Wishing Everyone the Happiest of All Summer Days Yet to Come!

Terrific Presentation Given by Broadcast Lighting Designer Jonathan Lipsy at Cape Ann TV
Jonathan Lipsy from the broadcast lighting and design firm Integrated Solutions Group gave an outstanding presentation on lighting for interviewing at Cape Ann TV’s Lunch and Learn. Jonathan presented the information clearly and concisely, with an overall strategy of thinking about lighting interviews in layers, along with the excellent advice that less is more. Thank you Becky, Lisa, and Erich for the invitation. The presentation was well worth the time, with the added bonus of an extra super delicious lunch provided by Wally’s Catering.
