Good Morning Gloucester 
Bravo to Melissa. She has so many great stories associated with the book. I wish she had told the one about the box her friend bought in a rummage sale and found it was full of the old menus. The book is a real piece of history.

Fabulous..My mother was a chambermaid at the Faraday Inn and would occasionally bring me with her when i was a little. I remember the little concession shack that was on the road that sold beach items…From that job, Melissa got my mother cleaning jobs for a few Rockport artists. I mostly remember one on Bearskin Neck because I was promised that if i was good, Mom would get me some shoestring licorice from the General Store.
My mother always spoke highly of Melissa Smith.
I can’t wait to get this book..I hope you will be having a book signing, Melissa.

Perhaps 20 years ago Melissa brought me to Gloucester to view her history. Of course, when I found out I was going to Gloucester I wanted to see the famous statue of the fisherman. Melissa graciously appeased my “tourist” desire. Thank you, Melissa! Then, as we drove on up and I both viewed and listened to her vast rich history I felt very much a part of a different “America”. Being from the south and not at all exposed to the rugged northeastern shores, I had a feeling of “coming home” when we stopped in front of one of the several homes honored in The Three Melissa’s book. The recipes are outstanding, awesome and amazing – not to mention yummy! For this Texan, it was also neato to see a recipe for guacomole! A great, colorful and richly historical book – thank you, Melissa!
