Newburyport: Three seventh-graders from Nock Middle School invited the entire class to their 13th birthday party aboard the Captain's Lady III at Plum Island which their parents paid for. In lieu of gifts, the girls asked for donations to the Pettengill House in Salisbury which ended up with $2,100 for the effort.
