May Art Exhibit
....the Beholder photographs by John Gaumond
John Gaumond of Worcester is a photographer and a member of the Seven Hills Camera Club. A selection of his photographs will be on display in the Exhibit Gallery throughout the month of May.
John Gaumond- "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Each image in this exhibit caught my eye as something beautiful.
I saw beauty in a golden age diner, an overturned rowboat, an old license plate and tail light."

American Experience: Jesse James 60 min.
Thursday, May 31st
The story of Jesse James remains one of America's most cherished and wrong-headed myths. Less heroic than brutal, James was a product of the American Civil War; a Confederate partisan of expansive ambition and cunning, who helped invent his own valiant legend. A member of a vicious band of Missouri guerrillas during the war, James sought redemption afterwards, but, rode further from it, redeeming instead the glorious memory of the Old South.
