Christmas Cheer from Fred Bodin
Last weekend, Fred Bodin and I were both at a great Christmas party / sing-along with a lot of other guests. I guess I was feeling lazy, because I didn’t bring my camera. Fred, on the contrary, was on top of things and he used his camera to grab some video of our caroling. Here is a medley I put together from his footage. The last part is a snippet of a traditional Christmas Gregorian chant I sang with Kevin McDermott.
Thanks for the footage, Fred!

USS Lark (AM-21) operated out of Gloucester
Hi, Joey,
I discovered something recently while doing some geneology research on my Uncle, Navy Commander Wm. Winfield Dyer, late of Gloucester. Bill dyer enlisted in the navy in 1916, fought in WW-I and WW-2. He was a deepwater sailor serving in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on vessels ranging from Navy Tugs to the Battleship Louisiana,
In 1930 he was a Lt.Cmdr. and was assigned to the 189′ Minesweeper "Lark" AM-21 and surprise of surprises, she was stationed in Gloucester until 1938 when she deployed to the Pacific. While in Gloucester she conducted mapping and hydrographic studies. During the cold NE winters, she was stationed in St.Thomas, Virgin Islands. Following Bill Dyers’ 18 Mos. on the "Lark" the was given a dual assignement. In 1930 he became assistant to the Captain of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine with specific duties to oversee the rebuilding of the Frigate USS Constitution.
On 12 Jul.1931 Greebe took Old Ironsides in tow and spent the next three years visiting every major port on the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Pacific coasts and back to her permanent station at the Boston Navy Yard. Bill Dyer and the officers and crew of the Greebe were also officially listed as officers and crew of USS Constitution. That was all just a part of an amazing navy career terminating with Bill’s retirement at the Boston Navy Yard in 1946 after reaching full Commanders’ rank.

Why Having Your Digital Images Reproduced At Cape Ann Giclee Is A No-Brainer
I have been so excited the past few days. The reason is when as an artist you feel proud of the work you are producing it’s just a great feeling. I knew the images I selected for our show at Alchemy Thursday night were some of my favorites but when James printed them and I saw the colors he was able to reproduce with his 11 color machine it took my excitement t a whole new level.
I’m thrilled, just thrilled to be working with James and Anna Eves at Cape Ann Giclee.
hope to see all our friends at the opening Thursday night from 5:30-7:30 at Alchemy for EJ and My “Two Buddies” Show.

In case you missed it at lunch: 12/12/12 12:12:12 PM
Since the symmetry of today’s date and time will never happen again unless we start using Unix code.
The word “twelve” is the largest number with a single-morpheme name in English. Etymology suggests that “twelve” (similar to “eleven“) arises from the Germanic compound twalif “two-leftover”, so a literal translation would yield “two remaining [after having ten taken]”.[1] This compound meaning may have been transparent to speakers of Old English, but the modern form “twelve” is quite opaque. Only the remaining tw- hints thattwelve and two are related.
Last year our sister city Gloucester, England asked its citizens what were the 12 coolest buildings in their city and came up with a list. What would be on your list of 12 for our island?

I have never been so proud of the work that I’ll be presenting at Alchemy Thursday for my show with EJ- The Two Buddies Show.
I Can’t Wait For The Show!!!!
We will be doing a ton of collaborating with James and Anna Eves in their awesome artists space at Cape Ann Giclee- A TON! If you are a photographer you owe it to yourself to swing on down to their shop at 20 Maplewood Ave, bring your memory stick with any digital images you’d like to have made into a canvas wrap and James would love to sit down with you to enhance or show you all the different possibilities to bring that image to life on your wall. There’s no better gift. Take some snapshots of your children bring the camera in to James and he can take the memory stick out and work his magic right from there. Bottom Line- No Brainer Easy Peasy Gift. Done! (or buy one of EJ or my pieces at the Alchemy show where 10% of the sales go to the Gloucester Education Fund)

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 we visited Steve Connolly Seafoods and photographed the line. Fish fresh off the boats were cleaned, cut and packed.

Pitbull murdered in Gloucester??
Kristen Lark writes-
Hello, I was wondering if you heard about a pitbull found dead on the side of the road gutted. From what I gathered on facebook and by the Sweet Paws Rescue of Essex facebook page, a woman & her son were walking their dog around the Sadler St Burnham’s field area yesterday. Their dog reacted to something in the bushes & when they looked it was a dead pitbull sliced open. This is horrifying. I guess the police think the dog was used for fighting. I wish I could have seen the dog’s body to check for scars to confirm it was a fighting dog or not. Not all pitbulls are fighting dogs. Many are show dogs or weight pulling contest dogs.
There is no media attention to this and I don’t know why. I am Gloucester resident who owns a 6 month old pitbull puppy and I am outraged. The pitbull population in Gloucester has grown a lot in the past 10-15 years and there are many responsible owners here. Is there anything you can do to investigate this further? I emailed the Times but didn’t get any responses. I am a member of B.O.N.E (Bully Owners of New England) and we do a lot of pitbull advocacy work. Pitbulls are the most tortured, brutalized, and misunderstood dog.
Thank you for your help,
Kristen Lark
