Their topic for the show was the code of ethics and Monika’s training. Monika felt the time flew by and she enjoyed it immensely. She has always wanted to be on the radio and this day her dream came through.

Monika and Brenda ran out of time so Monika will be back in the studio on Monday October 13th from 1:00 to 2:00 pm and it should be  a lot of fun.

Mount Washington Hotel and Golf Course

Monika and I arrived Sunday September 21st around 10:00 am at the hotel and after I unloaded all our luggage Monika dropped me off at the Golf Course. They have just finished a large makeover of the front nine. The management at the Mount Washington found the original Donald Ross plans and they built a few more holes and reworked a few more on the front nine.

They did a nice job and one thing to remember is don’t roll a ball near a sand trap as they have grown the rough quite long and it is pretty gnarly if your ball lands there. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were decent as well.

The course is not that long and not that difficult. It’s a fun course to play and I always enjoy playing there. The last two times I have played there in tournaments we have finished 2nd this year and 1st a few years ago. It’s always a great feeling to win.

But, remember it’s not all about winning it’ sjust a lot of fun to just be out there playing.

NH Real Estate Golfer back up and running

Our site has been down for many days as we were moving our data from our old hosting company to our new hosting company Blue Host. This is a WordPress run blog and it’s data is stored in a database called mysql. I had copied the data over from our old host months ago to only realize I never imported the databases. I only was pointing the database from our old company to the new one.

When our other hosting company’s term ended our sites went down. It took me a little while to figure out how it happened. Thanks to Blue Host they pointed me in the right direction.

I needed to export the old database and import the old database into Blue Hosts sql servers. I didn’t do it. Then I needed to re-configure the config.php file properly to reflect the Blue Host server. Thanks to the helpful technicians at Blue Host I finally understood how to do this properly.

My old hosting company only gave me back up files and the backup file of the sql database was a year old. Now you can see why I am no longer with them.

Stay tuned as we will be bringing you more Real Estate information and good topics of our surrounding communities as we write about how great New Hampshire is.

Sean Powers killed by alleged drunk driver

Sean Powers 24 years old is my nephew. He served two tours in Iraq and was headed to the Police Academy at the end of the month. The Hopkinton, New Hampshire police department hired him this spring and he was thrilled to serve his community as he served his country.

This Wednesday the 13th was not like every Wednesday it was the first Wednesday in quite a while that it didn’t rain. Sean and his dad, my step-brother Peter, were working in the driveway together tinkering with an engine in one of their vehicles they had. Father and son working side by side on a glorious sunny day, something they enjoyed to do a lot.

Peter was moving some stuff out of the way and he needed to move Sean’s Harley Davidson to make room to repair the vehicles engine. While moving it Sean decided since it was such a brilliant day why not take the bike to work. He then thought that he probably shouldn’t because he also had to carry a lot of gear with him but his dad offered to take the gear for him and deliver it to the station in his truck.

Peter also mentioned picking the bike up for Sean but Sean said no problem he’d like to ride it home. Peter will second guess that decision for the rest of his life.

As I read through the comments on WMUR.com and Union Leader.com sites it makes me feel good to know Sean was extremely loved by all that came to know him.

Here is an interview with my nephews Scott and Daniel, Sean’s younger twin brothers. Scott is following in Sean’s footsteps and is in the Marines as well. Their grandfather William J. Powers also was in the Marines and was extremely proud of his grandsons.

Pictured in the first row. Peter Powers, Sean, my son Justin, my step son Michael Gosselin. Behind him is my step son Marty Gosselin, nephew David Powers, Sean’s uncle Billy Powers, one of the twins Scott or Daniel, hard t otell them apart at that age, next is Sean’s uncle Michael Powers, then facing away either Scott or Daniel. In the back is my mother Pauline Powers, Sean’s dad Peter, me Jay McGillicuddy, Sean’s uncle Paul Powers and Patrick Powers and William J. Powers Sean’s grandfather.

Patrick, Paul and William J. Powers have all passed away since this Christmas photo was taken in the mid nineties and now Sean has gone to join them in heaven.

May God Bless You Sean and keep you with him by his side. We will miss you!

Love Uncle Jay and Aunt Monika…
