Hi Joey,

Thanks great~ this is Emy’s grandmother, Mary.  Our Wonson/McLoud family members are here on vacation. Tomorrow we are having a memorial service in honor of my brother, David Wonson McLoud. We will be entering his ashes to the sea from the “Thomas E. Lannon.”  Captain Ellis and Kay have been great assisting us with our arrangements.  A reading of Marty Luster’s poem, “The Gift,” will be part of the day.  The poem was first posted last July while we were vacationing here~it told our story.  My brothers and I were born in Gloucester. When we were kids, my parents moved to the Annapolis, Maryland area. Always returning to Gloucester for summers and holidays.  I discovered “Good Morning Gloucester” a couple of years ago~it has become my good night reading.

Emy is 14 and loves photography.  This morning, her father had her up at 5am, sunrise was at 5:34.  What a beautiful Gloucester morning!

Thanks for posting.

Hold Fast ~ Mary McLoud Tucker
