That Genie really wanted to find the Good Harbor Art Rock that Paul Frontiero hid this winter in the rocks by Good Harbor Beach; the one that Ed Collard found and then gave to me at the Rocky Neck Plunge, after I had commented that I finally knew where one was but the storm prevented me from getting out and finding it? She and her two friends, Maureen and Paula were out playing tourist today, taking the water shuttle and poking around the galleries on Rocky Neck. She is a devoted FOB, so wanted to come in and get a GMG sticker. We got talking about Paul’s Art Rocks and how much we love them, and then realized we both had wanted to find the same rocks (Good Harbor Beach and the Paint Factory, which I did find under Fitz Henry’s crutch buried in the snow). So Ed, I hope you don’t mind me regifting your gift, but I gave the Good Harbor Beach rock to Genie. She grew up at Bass Rocks on Haskell at the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Mooreland, and really loves the rock because it is the view she grew up loving. A lovely meeting and experience that made my day today on Madfish Wharf.
I thought I had posted this weeks ago, but can’t see that I actually did, so sorry Genie if you’ve been watching for it.

About E.J.
Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer.
Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.
awesome story…
What can I say…many thx to EJ…I am an off-islander who wishes she were still on the island…Thx Joey for my continued “view” of Gloucester. I promise to take photos with my Sony H20 and aspire to the quality of GMG contributors, someday to contribute.
Way to go E.J., the gift that keeps on giving!
Ed, I just hope Genie enjoyed receiving that Art Rock as much as I did when you gave it to me!
EJ, I can assure you, The Rock receives the most revered placement in my house. I treat it as a treasure! Thank you again.
EJ is the BESTEST!
I think you’re pretty cool too, Jenn! Hope you come back to visit again soon.
