Happy Birthday EJ! You Light Up All Our Lives With Your Positive Spirit!

We have a bunch of positive minded, kind, creative folks that are part of our little GMG community.  Perhaps no one among us embodies what it is to be a GMG’er more than our friend EJ.

  1. I just got back from the Rockport PTO Holiday Fair and found an email from Paul Frontiero wishing me a happy birthday. I wondered how he knew. Then I came on to check the blog and found this. You guys are all the most amazing people. I love Gloucester and think it is one of the most special places on earth, but if it wasn’t for GMG and all the dear friends and wonderful people I have met here through GMG, I dare say it wouldn’t be quite so special. I love you all and am so proud and honored to know you and be a part of the GMG family. Joey, you are just a rock – a true hedgepiggywig among men. : )

    1. Hedgepiggywigs are very intelligent, charming, cute, sweet, community minded characters in my book Tales of Bong Tree Island, and Hedgepiggywig Joey is the leader of them. Just as Hedgepiggywig Joey is the leader among hedgepiggywigs on Bong Tree Island, our Joey is a leader among men on Cape Ann.

  2. Dear EJ,
    When you wake up, it will be a special day, your Birthday! So many care about you on this island. That’s our gift to you, and you are a great gift to all of us. Thank you and Happy Birthday.

    1. You’re so right Fred, this island and all the special people that make it so amazing is the greatest gift anyone could ask for. Thank you so much.

  3. Happy Birthday, Ms Painter, Photographer, Author, Entrepreneur, Historian of “all things Gloucester,” and, if I might add, Ambassador of Cape Ann!

    I watched your video with my morning coffee; Joey captured the real you. Sweet! Have a great day.

  4. Somehow this issue 11/18 of GMG got by me and while I was doing a cleanout it came across.
    Happy Birthday EJ! And yes Joey, that is a quite attractive picture of the past, but I’m quite pleased to know the present day EJ.
