Susie Byrd Back On Track
After Susie’s little setback which you can read about by clicking this highlighted text, she has been nothing but the model of the perfect backman. She’s been showing up on time and is back in gear. I called her out as having strike one for being a no-show for work that day but her boss Johnny “Doc” Herrick called it a check swing.

Susie Byrd Strike Count -1
OK, here’s the story behind this picture.
Susie Byrd has been fishing out of Gloucester for 3 years now. She has been one of the most consistent backmen on our lobsterboats and has been doing a great job of showing up on time and pushing her skipper Johnny “Doc” Herrick to fish harder.
Yesterday she had a little setback.
She was a no show for the first time. Eventually she got down to the boat and they got the day in fishing but there was no way I was going to let her off easy.
This morning in the office with all the boys I gave her an option. She could hold up the sign saying “Susie Byrd Strike Count 1” and let me take the picture or I would ride her about being a no show after I’ve been singer her praises to anyone who would listen about how great she has been as far as reliability and work ethic.
She chose to pose for the picture.

Susie Byrd- Lobsterman
Here’s Susie Byrd- Lobsterman extraodinaire. Susie had the option of taking the day off when her skipper John Herrick decided to stay in, or go fishing on another boat. Wanna guess which option she chose?
If you guessed go fishing, you’re right. She just can’t get enough. She just loves being out there on the water. I swear this girl has salt water running through her veins.

Susie Byrd Fisherman Fused Glass Art
Susie is a fisherman. She loves fishing. Recently she signed on to fish with Johnny “Doc” Herrick aboard The Dog and I. Johnny said that he’s never had a back man push him to fish harder than Susie has pushed him. She just loves being out there.
She also loves working with fused glass.
Here are some of her pieces (as always you can click on any picture and select “all sizes” to see the picture full sized and in greater detail)

Susie Byrd the woman who we consider one of the best back men in the business makes incredible art by fusing glass together. I don’t know exactly how it works but the results are visually stunning.
