Ocean Point Column

Ocean Point Patriots’ fans as well as all New England fans
have to be excited for the teams return to another Super Bowl, their 9th appearance
under Coach Belichick and 11th for the franchise! What an
accomplishment for the team and for Tom Brady who also has his 9th
conference title, congratulations on another AFC trophy.
It was exciting to see the rally on Sunday with over 35,000
fans in attendance and Tom Brady leading the fans in “We’re still here “!
We were hit with a blanket of heavy wet snow on that Sunday
and were quite nervous about possible power outages and not being able to watch
the game, fortunately for us that did not occur. Friends sent us pictures of
the storm’s aftermath along Shore Road that was blanketed with several inches
of snow and both the ocean and sky were dark and bleak.
Members of the OPCT Preservation Committee presented the
current plans for our new facility that I understand was well received. There
is information regarding the presentation in last week’s Register, stay tuned
for additional information concerning the project in the months ahead.
Doreen Dun thoroughly enjoyed her trip to Oman with a group
of 11 from the Boothbay region. The group was part of an intercultural exchange
in Muscat.
Doreen described the country as quite peaceful and beautiful
and they were able to visit interesting sites, meet some of the area residents
and spend a night in the desert at a camp!
Doreen just returned from a get away weekend in Boston
visiting several museums and spending time with friends.
Gail Ross is busy once again preparing for her high school’s
theatre production of Grease, to be performed in February. Gail has
participated in this event for many years and enjoys contributing her time and
many creative talents to the project.
She’s also planning a visit with her brother Chris.
Happy Birthday to Ginny Rush, it’s a special one! In honor
of her birthday she was presented with a proclamation from Mayor Marty Walsh
declaring January 28th as Ginny Rush Day in the city of Boston, congratulations
Ginny.
It was recently brought to my attention that Bob Moore
played the piano at St.Columba’s Church during the Christmas holidays and his performance
was filmed by BRCTV.
Good luck to the Patriots this Sunday, let’s hope for #6!!
Go Pats!
Have a great week!
