Honoring Service and Heroism

On this Veteran's Day I hope we will all take time from the activities of our busy lives to remember those who have given service to our nation in the armed forces. They have given life to the principles of freedom, liberty and justice through their personal commitment to the beliefs that make the United States the greatest nation in the world. Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve on our behalf. Posted below are some photos from today's events in Gloucester and Wilmington.

Honoring the Arts in our State

Recently I had the honor of presenting the Governor’s proclamation of October as Arts and Humanities month, and in doing so emphasizing the importance of the arts and artists to our economy, our quality of life and the character of our state. You can view the presentation, which took place at Gloucester’s historic White-Ellery House during the commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of poet Charles Olson’s birth, by clicking the video below.
