      PCCS Anniversary Bash


    Executive Director Peter R. Borrelli welcomed Friends.

     
    Co-founders Dr. Graham Giese, Dr. Charles 'Stormy' Mayo, Nathaniel Mayo, legislative aide to State Senator Robert O'Leary, and Peter Borrelli, executive director, accepting
    a Statehouse resolution recognizing PCCS on its 30th anniversary.


    PCCS Advisor Nathaniel Philbrick of Nantucket was our honored guest. Philbrick, winner of the National Book Award for 'In the Heart of the Sea,' read from his latest book, 'Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War.'


    A rapt audience captured by Philbick reading his own words from Chapter One: "For sixty-five days, the Mayflower had blundered her way through storms and headwinds, her bottom a shaggy pelt of seaweed and barnacles, her leaky decks spewing salt water onto her passengers' devoted heads."


    PCCS staffers Associate Scientist David Osterberg, Executive Assistant Jackie Page, and Senior Scientist Stormy Mayo at the 30th Bash in the Auditorium of the new Marine Lab.


    Alix Ritchie, a member of the PCCS Board of Directors and Owner/Publisher of the Provincetown Banner Newspaper, whose Ritchie-Davis Foundation is helping to underwrite the Barbara Mayo Education Lab, reminisced about the early days of PCCS.

    Thank you to all who attended!
