Hi All —
Dan and I just spent a wonderful weekend with Dottie Smith Mann who is summering, as she has for the last few years, in Rockport, Mass . Here’s a very happy picture of the three of us at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum where we spent a lovely afternoon on tour and learned all about the long history and interesting currency of shipbuilding of all sizes on Cape Ann. We also had plenty of time to eat lobster and shrimp at the famous Roy Moore Lobster Shack on Bearskin Neck, hear some amazing innovative jazz from the great male vocalist Kurt Elling and the brilliant Jamaican BeBop pianist Monty Alexander at the Shalin Liu Center for the Performaning Arts with its glass backwall to the sea (check it out at https://rockportmusic.org/shalin-liu-performance-center/ , and shop the funky artsy clothing and gift boutiques of this beautiful little seacoast town. No wonder, Dottie calls it her “spiritual home.”
Actually, she got me thinking about where my “spiritual home” is, and I guess I would have to say it’s right here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire under the shadow of the great Mount Washington. How about you? Have you ever thought about that concept before?
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, as we are. Looking forward to the MHC Class of 1961 Mini Reunion Gathering on August 23rd,
Judy
