I made my first New Englandtrip. We went to visit Berklee College of Music but I had to
squeeze in a visit to the House of Seven Gables and the home of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Many of the men in these seaport towns went to sea and did not make it home. Nathaniel's dad was one of these. That resonates with me because lots of the men in my hometown make their living from the sea, and every year it seems somebody doesn’t make it home. There is a memorial to those lost at sea in the neighboring town of Gloucester. Under the year, it lists the names of those who died at sea. There are lots of names. We also stuck our nose in the
Crow’s Nest where the men from the Andrea Gailwere reputed to hang out while ashore. And by the way, The Perfect Storm is on our classroom bookshelf.
