Good Jobs are Plentiful in the Maritime Industry!

A last minute invitation was kindly accepted, and brought Dennis Murphy to the museum on Sunday, August 31 to spread the word  about "Exploring Possible Careers in the Maritime Industry."   This was a very interesting discussion that is particularly relevant to 16 to 26 year olds, who may not have embarked on any particular career path.  Dennis said "If someone is willing to work hard and follow instructions" there are lots of varied and well paying jobs available in the industry.

Lindstedt/LaPointe Artist's Reception June 7th

Photos were a challenge trying to circumvent the glare on the glass required for framing watercolors, and don't do the artwork justice.  This show will be at the Museum through June.

  Morris Grover greets visitors at the reception.

Entranced viewer......

Mark Cheney has created driftwood fish with personality!  The photos below are simply teasers, because you need to see these guys in person to enjoy them properly.
