I can’t begin to tell you how much EJ has brought to our lives. Her positive energy, her photo and video contributions, her expert handling of the GMG Gallery this past summer at Rocky Neck, the hosting of the Mug-Ups but mostly her friendship.
EJ brings so much to us every day and is such a kindred spirit in that she has the best of all worlds, the compassion of an artist and the organizational sense and responsibility of a business person.
EJ, thank you for coming into my life as such a great friend to not just me but the entire GMG community. Your friendship has been one of my greatest gifts this past year.
We love you.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Joey, thank you so much – that just made my whole day. I love you too, and can’t tell you how much knowing you and being a part of the GMG community has enriched my life this past year.

I “met” EJ first because of her GMG coverage of Annisquam, where I grew up, last winter and we struck up a friendship. It was my pleasure to finally meet her in August and I second she is a talented treasure that I hope stays around for a long time.

EJ has really made a tremendous contribution to GMG. Almost every day she teaches me something new or deeper about Gloucester, even though I have been studying and learning for more than 30 years.

Happy Birthday EJ!! I underline everything Joey said as you are an inspiration to us all. You drove over the A. Piatt Andrew Bridge just a short time ago and you didn’t waste any time making a huge impact on Cape Ann and GMG.
We at GMG whipped up a little song for you. It’s a little rough around the edges but everyone in GMG is in there. I’ll only give you two hints. Me and my muffintop show up at 2 minutes and Paul F arrives 15 seconds later.

Paul, that was hysterical. Now I know Joey was the mooning baby giving the finger at the end, and Ed was the dancing baby, and I could be the dancing nun, and Paul was the grumpy looking baby, and you were the rockstar baby, but who was the baby drinking the rolling rock bear, and who were the cats?

Donna is the cat with the hat shaking her booty and Sharon is … wait, I think I will stop there before I get into trouble. As for the baby drinking the Rolling Rock Bear maybe it would be someone who says they don’t drink bears but only vodka with multicolored Fla-Vor-Ice Pops as the swizzle stick?

EJ, we know the tributes are very well-deserved! Thank you for the welcoming spirit you showed us during our time in Gloucester and best wishes for a terrific birthday. At the next Mug Up I think you all should have a contest to see who can still drink a beer like the baby in the video!

Well I am overwhelmed that Joey put this up in the firstplace, and then all the wonderful greetings and comments you’ve shared. I feel so incredibly blessed to be a part of this wonderful, loving, supportive, fun, talented group of people and to be living here on Cape Ann. GMG and all of you rock – like that rockstar baby in Paul’s youtube video.
Yes Ann, a beer drinking contest where the contestants have to drink the beer with their feet while lying on their backs would be pretty hysterical. Any thoughts on who might win that one, or even be able to do it without pouring beer all over themselves?
