Good afternoon and Happy Easter weekend to those Amesbury residents and families who celebrate.

As the multiple levels of the NHL Boston Bruins seasons quickly come to a close, Mark Allred will be shifting his passion for hockey and research to gather more information about the Amesbury Maples during the off-seasons.

Joining Mark in this research project is a video specialist and former Amesbury teacher Frank Gurczak. I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Frank a few weeks ago, and going to collaborate to spread the message about honoring this team for the 100th anniversary in two years.
Please reach out if anyone would like to be a part of this mission to get this team to a more prominent online presence with audio, written, and video productions.

We're looking for former players or family members who want to tell their stories about being on the ice or someone they knew that dawned the Kelly Green and White jerseys.

We also have a mission to get this team a shrine at the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, Minnesota, so any info, images, and video donations will be accepted.

Please send me an email if you want to be interviewed for audio, written, and video content. We know some old-time players return to this area during the summers to visit families and would love to take advantage of personal interviews as they become more available.

We can also accommodate the former players or family members from afar using a laptop with a quality audio microphone and we**am access. All content is good content when it comes to hockey, especially the lineage when it comes to the sport in our hometown.

We hope folks get involved, but regardless, please be safe, and thanks for the time reading this community post.

Today our City Clerk sent off the certified election results for our City Charter amendments that required a vote. Last November residents voted to change the Mayor's term from 2 years to 4 years (going into effect after the next election) and to allow the School Committee to select their own Chair.

Our updated Charter is going through its final readings with the State Senate, you can follow along here: https://malegislature.gov/Bills/192/S2448

“I was born and raised in Amesbury. In 1998-1999 I was an intern with the department while in High School. I left Amesbury for the USMC and then landed in Baltimore County Fire. I had the pleasure of getting to meet up with one of my mentors from 23 years ago.”

Would anyone happen to know the history of the little red house on 19 Chase Street in Amesbury? Or where, or who might know? It appears occupied, but out of respect to whom lived there I refrained from knocking on their. Any knowledge or advice on where to ask, I would be grateful for.
Q: Redford’s History of Amesbury mentions the relocation in 1761 of a church from near Martin Road to “the small triangular spot now known as Huntington Park on Haverhill Road opposite the northwestern end of Union Cemetery.” (Pg 27) Is this what is currently signed as “Memorial Park” at the intersection of Highland and Rt. 110/Haverhill Road? Any help appreciated, thanks.
Amesbury lost one of its finest former teachers on Thanksgiving. If you were students at AHS in the 1950s-60, you might have had classes with Bert Fecteau - or you were coached by him in track and field sports. He was one of my favorite teachers - made mathematics come alive.

I worked at Henschel Corporation and when the Merrimac Hat was auctioned off, I bought all copies of the Merrimac Hat Quarterly from 1939 to 1948. Here is a picture of the plant.

I have the full set ending in January 1949. Many photos of Amesbury men and women serving during WW2 and hundreds of other photos.
Hi folks, I wanted to ask a favor. My Dad (David Shaw) and my Mom (Ruth Shaw) were both long time educators in the Amesbury school system (70s-early 90s). Dad taught at the Middle School first, eventually became principal at the Elementary School and Horace Mann. Mom taught at the Middle School as an almost daily substitute. They are in their 80s now. I was wondering if any of you who are former students of theirs might share some stories about them. I'd like to copy and print the posts to give them as interesting reading material. As an educator myself, I've learned that we don't always know whether or how we've impacted students until much later. Thank you.
Haverhill Gazette 1939 This was the back of an old article from my Grandmothers high school graduation, interesting! Maybe someone will recognize some names!
Here is a photo someone on ancestry.com shared with me today. Many of their descendants still live in Amesbury, Mass. The oldest lady is my great-grandmother Emilia (Guimond) Jacques (1872-1919). She was born in Quebec province. She married Henry Jacques in Newburyport, Mass., in 1894. She later ran a boarding house on Water Street in Amesbury. My grandmother was Mary Jane (Jacques) Grinnell, who married Edward Joseph Grinnell in the 1910's. First row Elz/Blanche/Rose. Second row Mary Jane/Laura/ Mrs. Amelia (Guimond) Jacques.
