My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey,
Thanks to GMG, Tricia and I heard about the Main Street Block Party. We arrived with our niece and nephew about 8:30pm. As we approached Main Street, I snapped the attached photo of the new public artwork project on Parsons Street with City Hall in the background. A GMG article stated the artist is James Owen Calderwood. It was a wonderful point of entry onto Main Street which was alive with entertainment, shopping, and dining. We enjoyed appetizers and a drink at LA TRATTORIA & PIZZERIA of the WEST END and then purchased a beautiful piece of artwork (stained glass by local artist Donna Amero) at Local Colors Artists’ Cooperative. Thanks for all the great info on Good Morning Gloucester! Looking forward to picking up my stonewashed GMG Cap next week!
Best regards,
Frank McCall

Here Comes the Bride!
I was walking down Main Street to open my gallery this morning, and saw this lovely and beaming young lady in a white gown sitting on the bench outside of the West End Salon (where Diane cuts my hair). I slowed down, turned around, and said: “You must be the bride.” I proceeded to work, and regretted not pursuing it. So I grabbed my camera and walked outside to see if she was still there. No, but shortly after the bride left with her bridesmaid heading straight for me. Again, I don’t know her and she doesn’t know me or GMG. But they were eager to be photographed. I took only one photo, and knew I had the “hero” shot. April Pelletier of Clinton (MA) was married today aboard the Essex River Queen. The lucky groom is Paul Devoe, also of Clinton. Kathy Mancini of Windham (NH) was her maid of honor. I’ve shot hundreds of weddings, and the bride is always stunningly beautiful, as this one is. Blessings on the newlyweds and their families.
Rick and I went out the Annisquam to watch the beginning of the race. Very cool, the boats not the weather. Hope all stay well hydrated. A fun race to watch.
Thanks so much Diane for keeping us updated!
