Got a request from Finland...a sale to a German...(2 countries I haven't "cracked" before now...), plus other sales to seacoast residents. One has asked to me do a concert for an after-school program at Portsmouth Middle School, and to possibly teach a songwriting workshop there as well.

SEACOASTNH PROMOTING TOURISM

I enjoy your site immensely, and find myself reading ever more of the tantalizing stories about your lovely corner of our world. Early in each month I can't wait for your newest entry, and have begun to think seriously about a trip east to visit for myself.
Reader in Crawfordsville, Indiana

I look forward to receiving your great newsletter each month. I hope one day to "escape" the South for a few weeks and saunter up the eastern seacoast. Since receiving your newsletter, New Hampshire is definitely on my "gotta go there" list.
Martha Baker, Carriere, MS

LETTER FROM IRAQ
I am currently serving in Iraq with the II Marine Expeditionary Force based at Camp Fallujah. After reading your site my plan for R and R is to take a few days with my family to visit Exeter, NH and research my family roots.
John Folsom, Colonel, USMCR

What a surprise and pleasure when I ran across your website. My wife and I love the Portsmouth, NH area. We visited there for a day the first time several years ago. We made it a point to visit and stay there for almost a week last August for our 40th Anniversary. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are planning to return to the area again in the near future. What a lovely area in which you live. You are so fortunate to be amongst so much natural beauty and in such a historical area. I have signed up for your newsletter, and look forward to receiving it. Keep up the good work.
Bill Alt

Keep up the good work. As a resident of New Jersey, with miles and miles of coast, it's the New Hampshire coastline that really makes me appreciate the Atlantic. An hour or two on NH's coast line beats a week's worth at the Jersey shore!
J.G, Pennington, New Jersey

I enjoy your site immensely, and find myself reading ever more of the tantalizing stories about your lovely corner of our world. Early in each month I can't wait for your newest entry, and have begun to think seriously about a trip east to visit for myself. I especially love the stories about real people who long ago walked your shores and sailed off your coasts. To us land-locked souls it is just so romantic.
Nora in Crawfordsville, IN

We have never been to New England or the East Coastfor that matter and your site might be as close as we ever get.

READERS MISSING NH BADLY

I used to live in Rye and now in Florida and can't tell you how much I enjoy your web site.. When I get homesick for the seacoast I just look at your web site for awhile and feel as though I have gone home for a little while.
Pat R Maison

I lived in Kittery most of my life...but now am a Florida resident. I so enjoy reading and learning about our historical New England past. I sit at the computer with my cup of coffee and read thru every article. Thank you so much for your site.
Lynn Lait, Orlando, FL

Loved the stories about the finds at Star Island, the work on Smuttynose, and the Constitution light. It is Spring and and an old woman's fancy turns to thoughts of home! I always miss the seacoast at this time of year. Thanks to you I can regularly "visit" thought 1500 miles inland! Keep up the good work!
Joan Johnson

Our children were born in Portsmouth. SeacoastNH.com has been a favorite web site for all of us here in Idaho. Our warmest memories are as you describe them every month. Thank you for keeping our family memories alive.
Daren & Darcy Jack, Eagle in Idaho

Circumstances have led me to Reno, NV, after living almost two decades in the Seacoast -- but you and your site help me keep up with friends and events. I sincerely appreciate your time and effort and midnight hours to give this great scope to all of us.
Peggy Fish

Thank you for your time, effort, and devotion to keeping folks (me especially) informed!! I have gotten to the point where I look forward to your newsletters.
Katie McCann, Loyal New Hampshire-ite... Stuck in Austin, TX.

This is such a cool site! Keep them coming. It makes me sad that my clueless ancestors ever left Dover, not much I can do about it, except log on.
WentworthFoster in Mill Valley CA

The information on Portsmouth's history and historical sites brought back many fond memories of visits there when our family lived in nearby Dover (between 1965 and 1985). My wife and I are Californians now, but your website helped recall why we still love the NH-Maine Seacoast area. Many thanks -- and best wishes!
Bill Brady in CA

As a transplanted Portsmouth native now in northern Maine, I really enjoy the ezine you send. Keep 'em comin'! And the daily calendar is great!

WEATHER BY KEN MITCHELL

Hi Ken-- I look at your forecast at least once a day, and I think it's fantastic. Thank you for the time you take to keep us informed about the REALLY local weather. One of your many fans
Marya Danihel 

Tell Ken Mitchell to relax....he is still the very best weatherman- forecaster ...........a great sense of humor and makes the study of meteorology so interesting i want to study the weather ! I plan my days by his words (almost)..........Thanks for the daily reports........best reading on the net.
Sydney from Cape Neddick

I live in Andover, MA bur after hearing of your forecasts, I've become hooked! Do you think you could stretch it just an inch or two on your weather maps !!!!!
Mike Morris

I really appreciate having the local forecasts that you provide to the point where I now never bother with the traditional sources (i.e., TV / Radio).
Dan Gangai

First let me say this -- you've never let me down in your forecasts, which are inevitably more accurate than local forecasters and I would put my money on you in any "forecast-off".
Mike Morris, Jr.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your daily column. I live in Rye but spend a few winter months in Florida. Your article is one of the first ones I read every day. You do a great job with both the general weather descriptions as well as the more technical aspects. I think you are the only local person who takes the time (and energy) to write such an extensive piece. Wanted you to know there are some out there who appreciate what you do. Bye for now,

I bless and curse you....This month's email was the best ever, but that's the trouble... you had me hooked for over 2 hours!!!

Nobody does online history and genealogy like your site!!
Most grateful.
Bookworm from Fairhaven MA

Thank you much. Dr. Candee's information [on your web site] is most helpful and without your site I probably wouldn’t have the info I have.
Barry Bazeley

I love your web site. Until I discovered your site I thought I was the only person who likes trolling through graveyards and taking pictures of historical but not well known places. I think it is wonderful that you are helping to preserve our nation's history. I wish there were more people with your enthusiasm and joy of history.
Amber in Cincinnati, Ohio

I am the web person for NHTP and I have to congratulate the person responsible for all the John Paul Jones info online...awesome job and way cool as well.
Thanks...Vivian

Your beautifully-designed site is one of the best on JPJ, of the hundreds, I've browsed. Sure gives me the taste to change my travel plans and visit the Seacoast this summer!
Jeanette Paul, Longueuil, Quebec

Terrific interview with Evan Thomas. I am eager to read his biography of John Paul Jones, oh, and kudos to the interviewer. Smart questions, challenging, insightfull, quite impressed.
Chris Lee , Honolulu, HI

Your "discovery" of the George Fishley picture is fantastic! You have created a marvelous site honoring our Revolutionary heroes. We will add this to our link page as a "study in history" for all Americans. Thanks for bring history "home."
Roger Mansell, Director, Center for Research, Allied POWs under Japan

I always look forward to your essays, Dennis, and wonder to myself how you can possibly write so much so quickly so well. But you always do and do a bang-up job of it, too -- a pleasure to read such clear and concise writing.
Mike Dater

Yesterday I forwarded the web-link to the Wentworth-Coolidge info you posted to my board of directors, and to colleagues at the NH Division of Historic Resources and Parks department, and they have responded rapidly and with very high praise for your generosity in including the text and compliment you on the elegance added by the beautiful images, clean layout, and thoughtful placement.
Mark Sammons

This is a bit of a fan letter for J Dennis Robinson. I regularly read his column. I found "Gulf War Syndrome 2.0" and "Ain't Gonna Study War No More" fantastic observations of the state of the state of the american mind.
Carolyn L. Stoddard

We love your profiles of famous NH people and are doing something similar -- though much more modest an effort -- on our new website.

TRIBUTE TO LOCAL POET ESTHER BUFFLER

For months I have meant to write and say thank you so much for your incredible words about Esther Buffler [former Portsmouth poet laureate]. Your words touched me so very much, bringing up both loss and joy for me. You really captured the spirit of Ess, and her effect on all of us here in Portsmouth. That first paragraph, wow, that first sentence "If all the buildings in Portsmouth fell down, this town would still remind me of Esther." You are very good. I will keep your tribute with all my Esther books, letters, things, and in my heart.
Susan Kress Hamilton, Phinease Press, Portsmouth

I just finished reading your column on Esther Buffler. It was beautiful! Nearly moved me to tears. Wow, I'm so glad you're out there writing about Portsmouth, about anything.
Molly Hartle

Dennis, I just read your article on Esther. It was in itself a poem. Also very moving. (From a former social Studies teacher PHS, now retired up here in Rochester --- liked your pick of the Rochester site also :)
Brian P. Brennan of Rochester, NH

That was a very lovely piece you wrote on Esther. As beautifully composed as a perfect little short story
Rodman Philbrick in Kittery, ME

I just read your beautiful tribute to Esther Buffler in the paper. It was a wonderful story.
