My View of Life on the Dock
The Email from JP;
“Hey, I found your rock today. I really love it man, its my favorite rock.
Thanks, JP”
Most “Art Rocks” are not posted on GMG. You have to stumble upon them most times. Not all that are left and found are reported back into headquarters. 🙂
Sista Felicia sent me a bunch of pictures from the junior girls Seine Boat practice yesterday and there was something that hit me when looking through the photos. It was the love and dedication that certain people put in to keeping the tradition alive. In this case it happened to be Joanne Frontiero, Joe Balbo,Tim Oakes, Mike Frontiero and Julie Geary but there are many others woven throughout the community that show up year after year to make it all happen.
Every year if you are a lover of Fiesta you recognize the same faces in the Seine Boats, on the Greasy Pole, at The Novena, On the Altar, Walking in the Parade.
When you look through the pictures you will see Joanne climbing over the seats, tying down the oars in place and coaching up the girls. This is not just a tiny bit of work, believe me. and without even speaking to Joanne I know she does it as a labor of love, but it is because of people like Joanne that dedicate to bringing the youngsters into the traditions through patience and love that the rest of us get to enjoy it so very much year after year after year.
The list of people dedicating time, passion and love to our greatest of Gloucester traditions could fill up a page, hopefully throughout the week I’ll get to bring you some of those faces and stories and make you glad you are a subscriber to GMG.

Subjects will include: marshes, harbor scenes and street scenes around Gloucester. Students may take one or all three days. All ages and levels of ability welcome.

Ocean Alliance, based on figures provided by the lead architect, has a goal of raising approximately $12 million to restore the ~ 20,000 Sq.ft buildings in a way that mediates existing contamination, maintains their historic exterior appearance while modeling the interior as a practical, accessible research, education and historic center.
Only $12,000,000? Hopefully the architect throws in a blowjob to sweeten the deal.
Sweet, people will be picked up and dropped off right at the dock where the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery and Khan Studios are located. Harbor Shuttle To Mug up Next Sunday?
