My write to argue
Two of my favorite things are Boston College sports and arguing. Thanks to an Essex Media Group
colleague, I get to combine the two on a regular basis. Let me explain . . .
I began my career as a sportswriter (the first team I covered was the Marblehead football team coached
by Alex Kulevich) and have had the pleasure of working with some very talented people. Paul Halloran
was the best, and our current EMG sports editor, Joey Barrett, is following in Paul’s footsteps.
I love telling the story of interviewing Halloran for a sportswriting job at The Daily Item of Lynn back in
the ‘80s. His introductory line was: “I’m from Matignon and Holy Cross, so this is going to go in one of
two directions, fast.” Fortunately for us both, the line immediately hit its mark: I am from St. Mary’s and
BC and his schools were then our principal rivalries. How times have changed.
But fast forward to today. With Paul as his mentor, Joey has written about a number of athletes
accomplishing great things on and off the field. Many are from Marblehead.
As I said, I'm a BC guy. Joey is a UMass guy, who can't stop talking about Marblehead's Rollie
Castineyra, who is headed to UMass to play basketball. Rollie went to St. John’s Prep for two years before
transferring to Phillips Exeter, where he took his game to a high enough level that UMass Coach Frank
Martin offered him a scholarship, which he accepted.
In listening to Joey prattle on about it, it became clear that he thinks BC and UMass are “rivals.” I write
it off to his being young.
He told me about the first UMass-BC football game he attended being electrifying. That seems like a
reach but, even if true, we can safely assume only one side felt that juice once the game started.
Joey gets somewhat of a pass because he is from a UMass family – his father was a running back there
– and he met Victor Cruz (UMass, Giants) when he was a little kid and was starstruck. But he actually
thinks UMass has the better uniforms, fight song and mascot.
Wrong on all counts. But a good story by a good, young writer nonetheless.
In this edition, which is heavy on sports, you’ll see Joey’s story about our cover boy, Connor Cronin, a star
in the making. The do-it-all playmaker has had highlight reel after highlight reel under the lights at Piper
Field as a wide receiver and running back on the high school football team – but it doesn’t stop there.
The 6-3, 190-pound senior helped lead his lacrosse team to an undefeated regular season and was
recently named the Northeastern Conference Player of the Year. Despite playing two sports at the high
school level, Cronin also excels in the classroom, holding a grade point average of just under 4.0.
Talk about multi-tasking.
This fall, he is shipping off to Avon Old Farms School in Connecticut for a post-graduate year to
continue his football career.
Cronin isn’t the only multi-sport force in town. Behind most of his receptions was offensive coordinator
Mike Giardi. In the fall, Giardi puts on the headset and calls the plays. In the winter, he draws up the Xs
and Os as head boys basketball coach. And in the spring he heads to Seaside Park to coach the baseball
team. Mark Aboyoun gives you the play-by-play on how Giardi manages coaching three sports and serving
as chairman of the Math Department at MHS.
It's safe to say that both Cronin and Giardi are competitive as an athlete and coach respectively, and
that competitiveness can also be found quite literally a few steps away in the backyard of the Marblehead
Council on Aging. The yard includes a full-length bocce court that serves the 60-member league at the
COA. Ben Pierce shines a spotlight on the bocce league that started more than a decade ago.
Not that this edition is entirely sports . . .
FL Woods, the oldest continuously operating store in town, dates back to 1935. The store began as a
place for mariners to buy equipment, and now operates as a clothing store. Charlie McKenna sails through
the store’s history with owner Wayne B. George.
Elsewhere in 01945, Alexandra Rodriguez hits the books with award-winning author Eric Jay Dolin,
who wrote Rebels at Sea, a book based on Marblehead’s involvement at sea during the Revolutionary War.
On the fiction side of things, Anthony Cammalleri profiles author Pam Peterson, who wrote Marblehead
myths, legends, lore.
Marblehead Auto School owner Jacie Broughton has been teaching kids how to drive for the last 16
years. Emily Pauls details Broughton's journey as a driving instructor, and Stuart Foster tells the story of
Ned Quigley, who has more than 30 years’ experience helping students get into college.
There are many fascinating people doing fascinating things in this edition of 01945.
No argument here.

Jacie Broughton
of MHD Auto School
By Emily Pauls
Jacie Broughton, the owner of
MHD Auto School, has been
teaching the town’s teens how to
drive for the past 16 years.
“I love this. I wouldn't
want to do anything
else,”
Broughton
said.
Teaching
teens how to drive is an important
job, she said.
“You drive forever, and it's
the most dangerous thing
you'll ever do, so it should be
the most important thing,”
Broughton said.
Before owning her own
driving school, she said she
was an interior designer while
also working at a different
school part-time.
“You have to work for
another driving school for a
while before you can open your
own,” Broughton said.
With interior-design work,
there would be breaks between
different projects, so she said
she would fill that time with

BROUGHTON, continued from page 6
teaching.
“I would call my friend that owns the
other driving school and say ‘Hey, I got
a few weeks’ and they would put me in
classrooms or on the road driving so
that I was always working,” Broughton
said. “I loved it. The pay is horrible, but I
loved it.”
Eventually she decided to open her
own driving school in Marblehead where
she lives. The only other driving school
was at Marblehead High, but she said
many students were going outside of
town to learn.
“On day one, I had one girl in it
and then the next week for her second
class she came back with four friends,”
Broughton said. “The month after I had
20 kids, and I've never averaged less than
25 in a class. It was all word of mouth, I
never advertised.”
Since first opening, MHD Auto
School has gotten a lot busier, she said.
Her daughter, Michele Rodgers, has
been helping with the business for 10
years.
“Without her, the place would collapse,”
Broughton said.
Broughton said there are a lot of
amazing aspects of the job. Seeing kids
drive for the first time is one of her
favorite parts.
“I see in their faces when they first
start to drive, that ‘nervous, but this is the
best thing that could ever happen to me
in my life’ look on their face,” Broughton
said.
Another aspect she said she loves is
when old students reconnect with her.
After they get their licenses, they will
send her pictures of driving accomplishments,
such as tight parallel-parks they
were able to do in Boston.
She also sees old students around
Marblehead all the time,.
“I tell my instructors, ‘Listen, you
don't want to be the teacher they turn
on their heel and walk away, you want to
be the one that they come up and grab
your hand and are excited to see you,’”
Broughton said.
She is always looking for part-time
help, including now. When training her
instructors, she said she trains them to
have kindness toward the students.
“Sometimes you might be the only
person that's nice to this particular
student in their life. They might not have
a great home life, they may not have a
great school life, they might not have
a lot of friends, and they get in the car
with you and you're nice to them and
they can talk to you,” Broughton said.
After teaching most of the teens in
town how to drive over the past 16 years,
she said some of them are starting to
have kids of their own. Broughton said
that she hopes some of them will end up
as her students in a few years. 45

Pam Peterson peels back
the myths of Marblehead
By Anthony Cammalleri
From fables of pirates and haunted
shores to soothsayers and witches,
Historical Commission member and
former Marblehead Historical Society
Executive Director Pam Peterson
knows her town’s past — real and
fictional — inside and out.
Long before she wrote “Mar-
blehead Myths, Legends and
Lore,” a tapestry of historical and
mythological stories, Peterson kicked off
her career as a town historian training
tour guides at the Jeremiah Lee Mansion
for the Marblehead Museum.
While checking the tour guides’
historical anecdotes for factual
accuracy, Peterson said she
noticed some of their
stories weren’t exactly

"Marblehead Myths, Legends, and Lore."

SUMMER 2023 | 13
based in documented history.
“They were the old legends of the town.
At the museum, we had this discussion
about how we shouldn't be telling people
those things, so I met with the guides and
said, ‘You know, I think we're going to try
to not use those myths in the guided tour,’
and the guide said, ‘Oh, but that's what
people like the best. It’s what they remember
and what they would really like to hear
about,’” Peterson said.
Peterson’s interaction with the tour
guides sparked her interest in sharing the
town’s folktales, myths, and embellished
historical legends. She began collecting
Marblehead stories that had been passed
down through the ages, with the goal of
preserving them for generations to come.
Many of the stories travel far from
reality — such as that of Moll Pincher, a
magic-endowed 18th-century soothsayer
who met with George Washington and
predicted the Continental Army’s victory
in the American Revolution. Nonetheless,
Peterson said these tales play a crucial role
in a community’s culture and tradition.
“These stories are really important to
the whole history of any place because
oftentimes they tell a story or they have a
moral. There's a reason why those stories
are popular and that they're told over and
over again,” Peterson said.
After Peterson published her book in
2007, she said the public’s interest seemed
to gravitate toward the town’s pirate
tales — particularly that of the screaming
woman at Lovis Cove.
“There were, in fact, pirates in Marblehead,
so there are a couple of stories about
the pirates — this one is definitely a myth,”
Peterson said.
According to the legend, pirates
plundered a ship off the coast of Marblehead
Harbor, killing everyone on board except
for an elegantly-dressed young woman
who refused to surrender her jewelry.
The pirates brought her to Lovis Cove,
the beach below the Barnacle Restaurant
on Front Street, to murder her, cutting off
her fingers to steal her rings. Legend has it
that the woman’s scream for help echoed
through Marblehead, and is still reported
by beachgoers today.
“What’s fascinating is people still sometimes
say that they hear screaming down
there. Even as late as the 20th century,
there are police reports of people hearing
screaming in that area, and when they go
down they can't find anything,” Peterson
said.
Peterson said the tale of the screaming
woman sparked interest from a “paranormal
investigator,” who reached out to her
and invited her ghost-hunting at the cove.
After setting up a series of devices supposedly
capable of detecting paranormal
activity, Peterson said she and the investigator
stayed at the beach late into the night
and heard nothing.
“Nothing happened. At one point we
heard something walking behind us and we
turned around — it was a cat,” she said.
Ghosts aside, Peterson said she particularly
enjoys the Marblehead myths that
blend with true historical fact. Old Burial
Hill, she said, makes its way into a number
of stories. One suggests it was the town’s
first settled area in the early 1600s, which
Peterson said could very well be true.
Peterson said the town, regardless of
the mythology that follows it, is rich with
history — from its ties to the USS Constitution,
to its significant role in the Civil
War — that connects it to the rest of the
country.
“Marblehead, in particular, loves its
history, and people love all these stories.
It's just part of the whole character of the
town in a way,” Peterson said. “All these
things that continually bring the history
of Marblehead back into the history of the
United States.” 45

Counselor helps applicants
enter queue for college
By Stuart Foster
Savanah Harshbarger, a Marblehead native, was
approaching her junior year at Scripps College in
Claremont, Calif. when she decided on a change of
direction. She wanted to transfer — not because she
was unhappy at Scripps, but because she wanted a
program with an exceptional neuroscience pathway.
Compared to the resources provided for the
undergraduate application process, Harshbarger said
students who want to transfer do not have nearly as
much support. While school counselors and parents
are often very involved when prospective undergraduates
make their decision, she said that the
transfer process is instead very lonely.
At the time, her two younger brothers were
applying to colleges themselves, and were
getting college counseling from Ned Quigley.
Harshbarger was impressed with how deep and
detailed Quigley’s counseling was, and reached
out to him for help.
“Ned showed up for me again in a really
big way to help me think through what
would be my cultural fit in a new school that
I hadn’t been to, and who was doing it well,”
Quigley said.
With Quigley’s help, Harshbarger applied
to a few programs with excellent cellular and
molecular neuroscience programs. She ended
up at Brown University, and Quigley continued
to follow up with her to make
sure she had found what she was
looking for and was aware of
all the resources offered
by the school. He
introduced her to the
university’s career
lab, where she was
able to get a job.
After graduating,
she went on to
study at Duke
University’s
School of
Medicine
before

years of experience at various colleges.

matching to her first-choice residency at
Harvard’s emergency medicine program.
Harshbarger’s is just one of many success
stories from students who Quigley has helped
navigate the college admissions process
through Q-Associates. Quigley’s counseling
has been so supportive not just because of
what he does when students are applying and
deciding, but because of how he checks in
with students during their first two years at
college.
“I see myself helping students to navigate
college, and not only the application process,
even once they’re enrolled,” Quigley said.
“I call it dipsticking, checking in with the
student to see how that term is going, how
well the course is going, how well-matched
are they academically.”
Quigley’s expertise in the field comes from
more than 30 years of experience working
for six colleges directly. He has worked at
Norwich University, Middlebury College,
Harvard, Syracuse, Boston University and
Brown. Quigley did not just have one role but
worked in a variety, including as the director
of Russian-language summer language in the
country at Norwich, the director of admissions
for Syracuse’s overseas programs, the
director of international education at BU, and
the executive director of communications at
Middlebury. He said he also has spent a lot of
time advising students academically.
Quigley estimated that he has visited
around 1,000 colleges and universities in the
United States, and another 200 overseas.
“My background is eclectic in the sense
that I’ve had a wonderful opportunity of
being exposed to really every aspect of a
university,” Quigley said.
Quigley said Q-Associates offers seven
stages of support for prospective students
during the admissions process. The first stage,
for example, encompasses preparation for an
“informational interview; career and interest
evaluation; overview of colleges and universities;
selection of universities that match your
background and interests.” The fourth stage
walks applicants through the “Completion of
admissions application process; completion of
financial aid application,” and “further mock
interviews.”
Students seeking counseling can choose
help with as many of the stages as they want,
but Quigley said they typically opt for all
seven.
“Most students I work with want a more
comprehensive package,” he said.
Quigley advises students after carefully
taking their academic interests and background
into account.
He used a hypothetical example of a
student who has taken ceramics and porcelain
courses, while also having a strong scientific
and mathematical background.
“I’m not sure if most people would go
this route, but I would say to them ‘Oh, have
you thought about ceramic engineering as a
possibility?’” Quigley said.
Quigley also does academic counseling
with students, for example, making sure they
are looking at schools that can accommodate
any learning disabilities they may have. He
said it is important for students to capitalize
on their academic and work experiences when
identifying the right place.
The whole process can be overwhelming,
SUMMER 2023 | 15
and Quigley said he works to make sure
students can access all scholarships they are
eligible for. Students might not be aware of all
the possibilities available to them, like scholarships
available for students from the North
Shore, and encourages students to check out
alumni offices and development offices to see
if they are available.
Harshbarger compared Quigley’s approach
to the advising she and her brothers got at
Marblehead High School, which she said was
a more “cookie-cutter” approach designed to
get students to a “best place.” She said that
ideal college is usually identified as the most
competitive school someone can get into -
but not necessarily the best fit for them.
“I think he did a really good job with my
brothers of cutting through that noise,” she
said.
Q-Associates does not just work with
students from the North Shore. This year,
Quigley said he worked with around 10
students who are not from the area, although
they have connections to it. Additionally, he
has drawn on his experience with the overseas
admissions process to advise international
students.
Harshbarger highlighted three things that
she said make Quigley’s support invaluable.
Those are his depth and breadth of
experience, the longevity of relationships he
cultivates by following up with students after
they start studying at college, and his warmth
and approachability in what can otherwise
feel like a cold process.
“To have someone like Ned in your corner
just makes you feel really relaxed, and for me
that makes a huge difference,” she said. 45

HISTORY LIVES ON
AT F. L. WOODS
By Charlie McKenna
F. L. Woods wasn’t always in the clothing business. The oldest
continuously operating store in town traces its roots back to
1935, and is deeply intertwined with Marblehead’s history as a
maritime destination.
When Fred L. Woods Jr. opened the store, it quickly became
a destination for mariners after he was awarded the first U.S.
Government Chart agency in 1939. Woods sold nautical charts,
tide tables, sextants, compasses, and even designed private signals,
or burgees, for anyone who asked.
“Basically everything you needed to go to sea” was sold at the
store, owner Wayne B. George explained in an interview inside
the original location on Washington Street.
“You couldn’t go to sea without Fred Woods,” George said.
Woods’ family owned The Boston Herald and lived in Brookline,
spending summers in Marblehead. He moved to the town
full-time after meeting his wife Nathalie Frost Hawks Woods,
a local.
“He was the summer kid that married the townie girl,”
George said.
Nathalie Woods was then left in charge of the store after
her husband’s passing. She didn’t know what to do with it, and
decided to close it. But, after demand from local fishermen, she
reopened the doors to F.L. Woods. In doing so, she reapplied
to become a U.S. Government Chart agent, becoming the first
woman to take on the role.
“What’s unique about this place is over all these years it’s become
a Marblehead institution, and sort of a Marblehead tradition,”
says George, who has owned the store for 20 years. “We’ve
all grown up getting Christmas presents or birthday presents or

HISTORY, continued from page 16
gifts from here, as well as nautical things
you might need to go to sea.”
Under George’s stewardship, the focus of
the business has shifted to clothing. Inside
the store, hats, shirts, shorts, jackets, and
more are all for sale. Most, if not all, bear
the iconic buoy logo on the sign hanging
outside the store.
The buoy, George says, was first designed
by Nathalie Woods when the Washington
Street location opened in 1938. In the
ensuing years, it has served as the store’s
mascot.
“The buoy just took on a life of its own
and I think what people love about it is
that it does represent something that's so
authentic,” he explains. “It has real pedigree,
it’s not a made-up nautical brand.”
George came to F. L. Woods organically.
Before buying the store, he ran a
worldwide marketing group for a software
company, living on planes and traveling
constantly. The opportunity to buy F. L.
Woods came about when he “bumped into”
descendants of Fred and Nathalie Woods,
who told him the store was constantly
closed because no one in the family could
run it.
Buyers were interested in purchasing
the building, George said, but none had an
interest in the store’s history. As a yachting-history
buff, he couldn’t pass up the
opportunity to preserve decades of history.
So, the recently-retired George stopped by
the Woods family’s home on Gas House
Beach and, over a cup of coffee, bought the
building and the business on a handshake.
“It wasn't for sale, no realtors, no contracts,
just on a handshake. And honestly,
until the day that it closed, when the money
changed hands, I didn't really know if
it was happening or if it wasn't happening.
I know a handshake meant something in
the old days. But nowadays, handshakes are
marginal at best,” he said with a chuckle.
“But lo and behold, the closing date came
and everybody showed up and all of a sudden,
my wife said, ‘What are you doing?’
And I said, ‘I guess I'm going into retail.’”
“It really was just out of my passion for
nautical history that I wanted to be sure
that this place would carry on,” he added.
The transition from selling nautical
charts to clothing came about because “the
industry was in transition,” George said.
“People had transitioned from buying
charts to go to sea, to buying charts to
wallpaper their bathrooms. And now all of
these charts are on your phone, your GPS
is on your phone, you can run charting
software on your phone, boats all have
integrated GPS systems, and there was no
demand for compasses and sextants,” he
said. “Fred sold a lot of nautical books, and
so that stuff just didn't really have much of
a future.”
But, Fred Woods did begin selling wool
sweaters and boat shoes in his later years.
“You could come in and get a chart and
you could get a yellow slicker, you get a
wool sweater, and you get some boat shoes,”
he explains. “It just seemed so natural to
me that that was the place to transition
the business to and really try and build an
authentic nautical lifestyle brand.”
Each piece of clothing for sale in the
store has been designed by George, who
said he agonizes over small details on every
item. The first thing he designed was a pair
of shorts in “Marblehead green,” an old
yacht paint manufactured in the town.
The paint has a fascinating story of its own.

SUMMER 2023 | 19
A unique sagey-green color, the paint
came about as a way for sailors to gain an
advantage over their competitors in races,
by inventing a way to keep barnacles and
borers off of their boats. And so, Marblehead
green came to be one of the first
anti-fouling paints.
The paint was manufactured in Marblehead
and sold at F. L. Woods long before
George took over the store. It became a
success rapidly, not just because it succeeded
in the initial mission of protecting the
bottoms of boats, but because of its color.
“Because it was this bright sage green,
it would glow underwater, so you could
see the shape of your hull under the water.
And of course, that was of a lot of interest
to the yacht designers at the time because
it would really show off their hull forms,”
George explained.
He noted that the paint was also
endorsed by a number of naval architects,
including John Alden and W. Starling
Burgess, during the time it was for sale.
George said the paint was often sold
with the tagline, “the most powerful
preventative: marine growth barnacles and
borers.”
The unique green color came about by
accident, George said, due to the presence
of powdered lead in the formulation, which
would react with the other chemicals in the
paint to create the sage green.
“And so nothing dared grow on the
bottom of a boat with Marblehead green
paint, because it was laced with powdered
lead,” he says.
Eventually, in the mid-1950s, the paint
was discontinued due to its toxicity.
While George has worked to transition
F.L. Woods into the 21st century, recently
launching a website, many of the historic
touches remain — including the creaky
wood floors and a decades-old computer
used to ring up sales.
In the store’s basement, George stores
artifacts dating back decades, including a
hand-painted sign advertising the products
Fred Woods used to sell, which George
suspected was taken to the Halifax race.
Also in the basement live two Macintosh
SE/30 computers that George said functioned
until the day he unplugged them.
Sewn inside the Woods Mariners Jacket,
which George designed to commemorate
the 75th anniversary of the store, is a quote
from Fred Woods that was printed on
the flyers he used to hand out to customers
who he designed private signals for,
instructing them how to fly them on their
boats.
The quote? “May your colors fly freely
and proudly for a long time.” 45

THE REAL DEAL
No tricks, just truth
from this Magician
Marblehead's Connor Cronin throws his hands up in celebration
after scoring a 72-yard touchdown in the Division 3 Super Bowl.

SUMMER 2023 | 21
By Joey Barrett
He drinks a water bottle per class to stay hydrated,
eats steak and eggs every morning before a game,
watches film before bed, and his leg shakes beneath
his desk in excitement for Friday nights at Piper
Field.
Meet Marblehead High’s biggest competitor, foot-
ball and lacrosse star Connor Cronin.
The senior and Marblehead native caught 41 balls
for 758 yards and six touchdowns this past fall, and in
lacrosse, scored 65 goals and dished out 34 assists for
the 17-0 Magicians (at press time).
All that said, how does he do it?
First of all, sports are, frankly, what he enjoys most.
He’s played football, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, and even
club tennis growing up.
“It’s just what I enjoy,” Cronin said. “It’s how I’ve made
all of my friends – the same ones I went to the park with in
second grade.”
From there, it’s all about his competitive spirit. Jokingly,
Cronin said some of it comes from his older brother, Tim,
continuously beating “the baby of the family” in basketball.
That was before Cronin turned into a 6-foot-3, 190-pound
wrecking ball.
And even with his friends, it never stopped.
“Even when I’m out with my friends at the park, I’m being
competitive,” Cronin said. “Obviously, I’m there to have fun,
but I’m there to be competitive, too.”
Well, the park translated to the turf. The Cronin effect is
real. Across his four years of football and lacrosse, both teams
have lost a combined seven games (five in lacrosse; two in
football).
“That’s something really special and unique,” Cronin said.
“The brotherhood that Marblehead sports has had – it’s just
made us very successful.”
Indeed. His lacrosse team is undefeated, and behind Cro-
nin’s 10 catches for 263 yards, the football program won its
first Super Bowl back in 2021 (35-28 against North Attle-
boro).
Not only does he remember that day, but the detail-orient-
ed Cronin said he’ll never forget being in victory formation as
the clock ticked down.
“Going into Gillette Stadium [and] looking up, it was just a
special day,” Cronin said. “Just looking up and seeing the stars,
knowing we were state champions, that’ll be a moment I’ll
always remember.”
As for lacrosse, Cronin had a hard time naming his favorite
memory. He added that all of his games were full of his favor-
ite thing: intensity.
CRONIN, continued on page 22

CRONIN, continued from page 21
“The speed of lacrosse has always made me
love the sport,” Cronin said. “And contact – I
love contact.”
For aspiring athletes at Marblehead High,
take notes. In what must be some recipe,
Cronin blasts loud music and eats the same
thing before games.
“My dad would usually drop off a Manhattan
sandwich,” Cronin said of the beloved
sandwich shop in town. “The empire club
was my go-to sandwich.”
But from there, after the exercise bike and
some stretching, it’s all about focus.
“You have to be locked in. No distractions,”
Cronin, who says the hour before games is
the most stressful, said. “If someone tries
talking to me, I’m sorry, I’m locked in.”
Despite his 234 career points in lacrosse
pads, he’ll arrive at Avon Old Farms in Connecticut
wearing football ones this fall.
“I love the contact and fastness of the
game,” Cronin said. “That’s what puts football
over the rest… It kind of just took over a
little bit.”
He also received an offer from Cornell
University to play football, and sports a 3.94
grade-point average at Marblehead.
“My goal is to use my athletic ability to
play football at a high level and receive a high
academic degree,” Cronin said.
But whatever he does, and wherever he
goes, number 22 will always be Marblehead-made.
“Since the second grade, playing with the
same group of people is truly something
special,” Cronin said. “There will never be
a reunion where we come back and don’t
remember those games.” 45
Cronin nearly intercepts a pass as his teammate,
Brooks Keefe, also lunges for the ball.

History
Made
Simple
Marblehead author Eric Jay Dolin holds his latest book
"Rebels at Sea" in his home office.

SUMMER 2023 | 27
By Alexandra Rodriguez
Eric Jay Dolin, a full-time author since
2007, was born in Queens, New York, but
has resided in Marblehead since 2002. It
was love at first sight when Dolin went on
his first date with his future wife Jennifer
Rooks, whose family lived in Marblehead.
“I fell in love with the town from the
beginning,” said Dolin. “I fell in love with
the town and its history.”
With a double major in biology and
environmental studies, a master’s degree
in environmental management from Yale,
and a Ph.D. in environmental policy and
planning from MIT, Dolin said his love
for writing, history, and telling stories has
never faded.
Dolin said that many of his books have
maritime themes because as a child, he
wanted to live on a beach and be a marine
biologist.
“That’s another reason why living in
Marblehead is good, because I’m right on
the edge of the ocean,” he said.
His most recent book, "Rebels at Sea:
Privateering in the American Revolution,"
was recently awarded the 2023 Fraunces
Tavern Museum Book Award on April 24.
The annual book award focuses on educating
the public regarding the Revolution
and acknowledging the historical community.
"Rebels at Sea" was also chosen by the
Massachusetts Center for the Book as a
Must-Read Book for 2023, and is, therefore,
in the running for the Massachusetts
Book Award later this year.
Dolin's books are used in high schools
and colleges, even though they are not educational
books, and he said they are easy to
read and understand.
“I think the greatest strength of my
books is that they tell fascinating stories
about American history in an easy-to-read
narrative style,” said Dolin. “I write my
books for people like me, the average reader
who is interested in history and wants to
read and wants to read a gripping story.”
“The biggest thing I try to avoid is
writing boring books,” he added. “I want to
write books that are written in a way that
once people start reading them, they want
to continue reading them because they are
interesting and unfortunately, a lot of history
books, especially older history books
and the ones you have in high school and
college, are pretty dry and difficult to read,
and that turns people off to history. I want
to turn people on to history.”
"Rebels at Sea" focuses on privateers
during the Revolutionary War.
“I think there are a lot of great characters
in the book, but I think what makes it
more interesting is that a lot of the great
characters in the book are people who we
don’t know a lot about,” he said.
Elbridge Gerry, born in Marblehead, was
very instrumental in writing the first privateering
law in the colonies. After the War
of 1812, Gerry became vice president.
“People around here heard about Elbridge
Gerry but they may not know that
he was important in privateering during
the war,” Dolin said.
Benjamin Franklin, King George III,
and Thomas Jefferson also play large roles
in the book.
“Most of the privateering that I talk
about is not that famous,” Dolin said.
“There are a couple of privateering vessel
owners who people in this area have heard
about. For example, Elias Hasket Derby
owned or invested in 39 privateering ships
that left from Salem, and Elias Hasket
Derby was reportedly the first millionaire
in the United States, and a lot of his money
came from privateering.”
Dolin wrote 15 nonfiction books,
including "A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-year
History of America’s Hurricane,"
which was an editor’s choice for the New
York Times Book Review and made it on
The Washington Post's list of 50 notable
works of nonfiction in 2020.

the people get closer

By Ben Pierce
In the backyard of the Council on
Aging center sports is, unexpectedly, a
fully-fledged bocce court. Complete with
a scorekeeping device, stands for the
2-pound balls, and tables for spectators, it
gets no shortage of use from its dedicated
players.
The club of more than 60 members
meets up to three times a week to play
against one another and work on their
craft. The enthusiasm was palpable when
they took the court on the morning of May
17. All members were eager to assume their
roles. Everyone flocked to the list hanging
from the wall that revealed the groups for
the day.
Organizer Pat Bibbo has a very strategic
way of assembling the teams: picking
names out of a hat. Bibbo has been
dedicated to the club for the past nine
years, and he explained how the game was
nowhere near as big as it is now when he
took over.
“I came in 2014, and all they had was
Tuesdays from 10 to 12 with about 14
players,” said Bibbo.
Despite his heritage, Bibbo had no prior
knowledge of the Italian sport.
“I hadn’t seen the game before and I was
only here about a month when I realized
this has the potential to be a lot of fun,”
Bibbo said. “I never saw it, let alone played
it.”
As his new hobby developed into a
passion, Bibbo then worked to expand its
fanbase. He opened a Thursday practice
session, and when that gained steam he
started the travel team. A handful of the
most dedicated bocce players travel to take
on surrounding COAs.
“Swampscott, Peabody, Windham, Danvers,
and us as the fifth… and we’re as large
as the other five together,” Bibbo said.
The five teams also have an annual
tournament, when they gather for a full
day of food, beverage, and bocce. A single
trophy is shared between the victor of the
given year.
“The winning team puts their names on
the trophy, just like the Stanley Cup,” joked
Bibbo.
Even with all the improvements made
by Bibbo since he became organizer, none
of it would have been possible without
Council on Aging regulars Liz Michaud
and Alice Campbell. Around fifteen years
ago, they were simply looking for an

outdoor activity for the community and
found bocce. Campbell died in May, but
Michaud is continuing to grow the sport
at the COA. Like Bibbo, she was not
familiar with bocce in any capacity. She
caught word of it through her search for an
inclusive game, and started playing once a
week with a small group. She credits Bibbo
for organizing and polishing the club so it
could grow.
“He’s unbelievable,” exclaimed Michaud.
“He’s the one that brought in the rules and
all the structure, and it’s just blossomed.”
Once the club grew a sizable amount
under the leadership of Michaud and
Bibbo, they had the court built. Michaud
said the accessibility of the sport is another
contributor to its success.
“What makes this such a great sport is
that anybody can do it,” Michaud emphasized.
“You can be very athletic and do
really well, but you can be less athletic and
succeed too.”
Michaud struggled to find a negative
aspect of the bocce club, and only lamented
that they cannot play during the winter
season. For her personally, health has
impeded her from playing as much as she
used to, but she is still as involved and
passionate as ever.
“It’s been fabulous… everybody has gotten
to know each other and it’s very social
and that’s what I enjoy most now,” she said.
John Capellotti is one member who
brought some seasoned bocce experience
to the table during the club’s early stages.
Before coming to Marblehead, he played in
Florida and learned a lot from “old-country
Italians.” Michaud also credited him as the
groundskeeper of the court for many years,
until his back prevented him from doing so.
However, that hasn’t stopped him from
being one of the top players in the group
and competing on the travel team.
A decade and a half in, the bocce community
is stronger than ever. One thing
that never seems to get old is the joy they
get from playing together. 45

sports is a beneficial asset,” Giardi said.
“In baseball, we do not prepare the same
way as we do for the other sports, but our
competitive spirit, drive, and focus must be
right on point right out of the gate.”
Giardi expounded this point further.
“During the baseball season, we are
always affected by the weather, whereas
this is not nearly the case during the fall
or winter seasons,” Giardi said. “If we get
a heavy rainstorm, we may not be able to
take the field for numerous days, so we
would be forced to practice inside. During
this season, we all must be ready to adapt
quickly, which is why our mental focus is so
imperative immediately.”
“We watch film during the baseball
season, just like we do for football and
basketball, but it is more at an individual
level,” he added. “We cannot watch tape
to see what an opposing team is going to
do on offense or defense, as the style of
baseball is mainly universal for all teams.
But, we do watch tape on what a swing
looks like and how it should be adjusted, or
what an opposing pitcher may tend to do
when runners are on base or in a two-strike
situation.”
Giardi has also been adapting his coaching
style, saying it’s important to know how
to get the best out of the kids.
“I remember coming into coaching in
1999/2000 thinking I was going to coach
a certain way, but my style and approach
have changed dramatically,” Giardi said.
“Obviously things are a little bit different
and you have to handle kids a little differently.
You have to communicate with them,
not at them.”
Giardi is also the lead math teacher at
Marblehead, and he believes teaching and
coaching are intertwined in helping him
build the trust of his players.
“Being in the school and seeing the kids
every day is a big plus,” Giardi said. “You
build great relationships with students and
their families. With that, you can have
honest and difficult conversations with
them.”
Giardi continued.
“Each kid is an individual,” Giardi said.
“We see it in the classroom. You have to set
up plans and programs for 20-plus students
to get access to the educational process. It’s
the same way in sports. You have to get in
touch with these players in the right way to
get them all on the same page. It might be
a new path or different approach for each
kid to eventually get everyone to the same
mold.”
Giardi also feels coaching other sports
helps him teach better and show his players
how important the small moments truly
are.
One thing Giardi said he loves about
coaching at Marblehead is the commitment
shown by the students.
“We got a core group over here,” Giardi
said. “We have kids who are really committed
to being at the top of their game.”
Between teaching and coaching three
sports, Giardi believes the best part is
seeing the opportunities that come for the
kids.
“The teaching aspect has been great. You
are teaching in the classroom and teaching
on the field and court,” Giardi said. “Getting
involved with them and seeing them
have opportunities to be successful is one
of the most rewarding things.” 45
Giardi talks with his basketball players with two minutes left in
the fourth quarter of their game against Newburyport.
