Gloucester Lobster Trap Tree ’10 -The Beginning

Featuring the 9:00AM Crew- David and Daniel Brooks, Paul Morrison, Shane and his brother The Emo kid, Scotty Horne, Ed Collard, Donna Ardizzoni and Rick Moore.

If you have any time at all today they could surely use a hand constructing the Lobster Trap tree.  If you are not able to physically help maybe you could drop off some warm cider or hot coffee.  It is cold as a motherfu$%er up there at Gloucester Police Station Pavillion.

We will be taping for The Learning Channel as well so come on down and be part of the fun.

Donna Ardizzoni is down there lugging traps that are bigger than her.  That woman is crazy I’m telling you!

Also if there are any lobstermen that have any lobster traps that they can contribute to the tree please swing down.  David and company will pick them up and drop them back off in your yard when the tree is dismantled.

Happy Birthday Ed Collard!

The first time I met Ed he was pulling weeds and raking the flower beds over at the Visitor’s Center on a 90 degree Sunday afternoon.  He was there alone working away to make the place presentable when there was the fantastic effort to revitalize the place into the real community asset that it has become.  Not for pay, but because Ed is that kind of guy.  The kind of guy that gives a ton to our community.

Celebrate Gloucester- Ed is there helping out erect the fences and set up.

Broken bench in East Gloucester- Ed fixed it without anyone ever knowing.

The Lobster Trap tree- Ed is there lugging traps 40 feet up in 15 degree windy weather.

The clean up effort when the City took over I4C2- Yep, Ed is there

The list goes on and on and on and this is only a few of the things that I know about.  So much of what he does he does without anyone ever knowing.

Happy Birthday Ed- one of the Good Guys!

Right back at YA!, Ed Collard

Ed Collard’s an all around nice guy and does some great stuff that goes unnoticed for the City of Gloucester.

BUT!

He can “Bust’em” with the Best! But. Can he take it?

Here’s a not to fictional typical conversation between Joey(the female character in this movie) and Ed Collard (the man sitting at the desk). I’ve personally witnessed a few of these.

Let’s just say that the on/off button and Ed are not seeing eye to eye and leave it at that. (anyone for some coverage of the turf conditions at Stage Fort?)

The other day at Pleasant Street Tea and Coffee Company on the counter there was a package with a whale popping out of the ocean saying Kelp Krunch.

I took a picture of the item, posted about it and now we have the definitive taste test with our boy Ed Collard who never met a food challenge he didn’t like.

Here is the video review-
