Harvard-educated letter-writing fisherman to miss protest |
|
The Gloucester commercial fisherman who sent an open letter to President Obama through a full-page in the Vineyard Gazette will not be in the flotilla that will rendezvous at noon today outside Vineyard Haven in a nautical informational picket line.
"I'm buying ice to go out to Georges (Bank) with three fellows," Sherman said in a telephone interview Wednesday Afternoon. "Going to fish for haddock and cod." As for the letter, professionally crafted for the Northeast Seafood Coalition, which paid for the Vineyard ad, Sherman said, "Sometimes you have to humble yourself, and tell the world you're going under." At that, Sherman is not alone. Business failings are reported up and down the coast. Read the complete story from The Gloucester Daily Times. |
