Bradley Bass Inducted Into International Master Sales Society

Danvers, Massachusetts:  Bradley Bass, an area sales professional with Century 21 North Shore, has been inducted into the Master Sales Society™, an international association comprised of an elite group of sales professionals who have successfully accomplished the level of MASTER.  Members of this Society share an uncompromising commitment to provide the highest level of professionalism, service and integrity to their clients while subscribing to a set of essential CORE VALUES. 

This distinction is earned by the very few committed sales professionals who place value and service of their clients above all else.

On October 25, 2012, Bradley Bass completed forty-two days of training and took an oath to uphold the high standards and Core Values that the Master Sales Society demands.  Less than 1% of all salespeople nationwide have earned this select designation.

Fish on Fridays

The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.

This week, even as we mourn the loss of the captain and crew of the scalloper Foxy Lady II, we focus on the sea’s bounty.

All photos shot on location at Intershell Seafood Corp in Gloucester.

Michael Buble’s “All I Want for Christmas is You”

Holiday Song of the Day ~ The first video is interesting and talks about how Michael Bulbe essentially “stole” his bass player’s arrangement, and then teamed up to create this wonderfully soulful version of “All I Want for Christmas is You.”  Comment with your favorite holiday song; we would love to share!

I Feel Fine

Lots of reasons to feel fine today.  Here are two good ones.

These guys are true rock stars who understand audience participation.

The greatest rock stars of all time.  Drowned out by of all the screaming, they couldn’t hear a thing.  But they stayed in tune, on beat and connected with the audience who would have torn them apart if they could have gotten to the stage.

Stormy, but no snow to get in the way of feeling fine tonight.  Get out there and party!  See all the great live music you can party to here.

Happy birthday, Mayor Kirk!

A few photos from the birthday party last night at Giuseppe’s:

Handgun Rumor At Gloucester High School Addressed In Statement From Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello

Statement From Police Chief Leonard Campanello

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your call this a.m.

We received a call about 6:20am from a credible source indicating that a rumor was circulating that there was a statement made by a student of bringing a handgun to the High School today. There was also a rumor that threats of bringing a gun to school today were written on a wall in the bathroom of the High School. The Police Department immediately responded, checked the school, began investigating and contacted school officials and the Mayor.

As it stands now, we will have a police presence for the time being at the High School, both to continue to track down the source of these rumors and to dispel any fear that students, parents, and teachers may have. The school is open, quiet, classes are in session as normal and school admin is on scene as well. I am told by the super that if students are apprehensive, there are guidance counselors on scene to speak with them.

Thanks again,

Leonard Campanello

Chief of Police, City of Gloucester, MA
