There is a very good reason why Father Travossos doesn't see the kids at mass. Most of the kids belong to the St. John the Baptist Parish and most attend mass and CCD classes on a regular basis. Our Lady of Grace was the only church in town that had a CYO program so that's where they go to play. They're a great bunch of kids it's a real shame.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
