This is an old postcard sent by Sylvia DeBoever (you remember Sylvia, Sarah Lawrence’s niece from the 66 year letter post) to Fred Bodin. Fred sent it to me so you could all enjoy it. Thanks Sylvia. Hope your knee surgery went well.

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.

That’s neat, EJ. Thanks for posting it. What inspiration! I recently saw a painting of a map of Key Largo and said to myself I’ve got to paint a map of Cape Ann. I imagined one similar to that one. But right now I’ve got two unfinished surf fishing paintings waiting for my attention so, maybe next week.
Great idea Bill, a painting of a map of Cape Ann. Having lived in Key Largo for 4 years, I can say we certainly have way more beautiful and cool stuff to include on a map here than there. It would actually be quite a challenge to include even the highlights without it having to be a huge painting. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Soon as I finish the two I’ve got underway, I’m going to start on the map of Cape Ann and I’ll send you a picture of it when done.
Returned to our Cape after many years…have forgotten a lot..grew up in the 40′s and 50′s…my transportation was a horse..so didn’t get to see all the wonderful places or know their names….love the pictures and information you give to us who love this cape…Thank you…Keep up the good work..Respectfully…GCS
I would love to be able to explore Cape Ann on horseback – that must have been great. Welcome back!
