OUR SON MAX "MACKEY" FATELLO MARRIED JACQUIE "JAX" WRIGHT ON FRIDAY JUNE 20th, 2025. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING. MEANWHILE, THE NEXT DAY, THE US ENTERED THE WAR IN IRAN AND LITERALLY BOMBED THE SNOT OUT OF THREE NUCLEAR FACILITIES. THE WORLD IS COLLECTIVELY HOLDING THEIR BREATH TO SEE HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT. RIP BRIAN WILSON AND SLY STONE.



Below is a copy of the speech I wrote and read at the Rehearsal Dinner on June 19th, 2025.

Oh my God. I apologize, oh my God. I’m so sorry Max. I must be the worst dad on the planet. Please forgive me. It just occurred to me. That you and I? We never had that talk. You know, the whole Birds and the bee’s thing. Listen, if you got 5 minutes, after we’re done here, we can slip outside, and I can fill you in.

It won’t take long. Besides you’re mostly Italian so most of it will come naturally to you. It’s up to you.

All kidding aside. This day has been a longtime coming. We (Cory and I and the immediate family) have been looking forward to this day ever since we first met Jacquie and realized that this is real. This is true love. How great is it that these two found each other. “Mackey and Jacquie.” Sounds like a song, or a movie, or at the very least a sitcom. It’s the Mackey and Jacquie show!

Now to the Wright/Prue family, you need to know that Max’s nickname since he was a year old is “Mackey.” When his older sister Gabby first started to say his name, she couldn’t pronounce Max. So, she would call him “Mac” and “Mackey.”  So, we just stuck with it. All his close friends know him as Mackey. And of course, once we met Jacquie it was the first thing I said.
“Mackey and Jacquie.” That’s pretty cool.

When Mackey was a young boy between the ages from 3-5 we would take walks on North Beach at the Wall. It was typically me, Gabby, and Mackey.
Cory needed a break and I would walk them down to Surf Family Robinson  beach to look for crabs and star fish. And once Noelle came along, I would carry her on my shoulders. Mackey would never walk with us. He was always 50 to 75 yards out in front of the main body. Stick in his hand charging at some imaginary enemy while looking down at his shadow. And always chasing seagulls. I would shake my head and say to myself “You’re never gonna catch one of those things Mackey.” But that never stopped him from trying. Mackey chasing gulls on the beach eventually gave way to surfing. First on the Boogie boards and then eventually on actual boards.

The whole gang of them. The Grondins, The Linsemans, The Evans, the Nichols all joining the Fatellos. Surfing took precedent over everything else. I mean everything. Eventually organized sports found its way into our household. Baseball, soccer, hockey, flag football, and eventually real football. We recently saw a photo of little Jacquie in her hockey uniform and wondered if she might have faced off against Max out there in the NNE league. I’m sure she would have remembered that wild little Mite screaming like a crazed banshee while skating as fast as he could and stopping by crashing into some unsuspecting kid or the boards. Hockey was not his sport. Football was. He loved Football.

And as we all know, Winnacunnet and Exeter were true rivals. And when Max and Jacquie were seniors, the Exeter Blue hawks and the Winnacunnet Warriors were in the playoffs. On a Sunday afternoon on November 15th, 2009, Max picked off a pass and ran it back 18 yards and basically killed the Blue hawks dream at William Ball Stadium. The Warriors won that game 17-10. It was the highlight of Max’s football career.

Jacquie were you there that afternoon? Our whole family was there. Including Max’s grandparents who are here tonight. John and Judith.
I think it would be a cool part of your story if the Wright/Prue family was there along with the Fatello family.

I mean think about that, two rivals coming together in marriage. That’s pretty damn cool.

So, after high school, their individual paths included college, surf trips, traveling abroad, and other interesting adventures. But they eventually crossed paths again in and around the surf scene. The magnetic draw of the ocean and her waves was that one source of energy that reduced any possibility of old rivalries. If you know anything at all about the ocean and surfing in particular, it has a deep mesmerizing effect on you.

And once you catch a wave on a surfboard, and parallel that wave. It stays with you forever. When you are riding living liquid matter that sensation is unlike anything else in this world. I know I’m preaching to the choir here.
You surfers already know what I’m talking about.  

Now I know that Jacquie is a surfer. And while that is a good thing for their relationship, it’s not what I think sealed the deal for their perfect coupling. Look, anybody can surf these days. Get a wetsuit hop on a soft-top and BAM you’re a surfer. What I noticed was her genuine desire to join Max in the woods. It takes a whole other level of commitment, to want to roll out of bed at some ungodly hour to join your partner in the forests.

Max and Jacquie love to go shed hunting. (Sheds are Deer antlers)

And now they own a beautiful home in the forest where they will be able to walk out their back door and look for sheds in their backyard. That to me is so unique to them and so fitting to their relationship. They surf. They hunt.

Now about this marriage. You are both entering into each other’s worlds. Jacquie, you will now have double the sister-in-laws. And Max you just upped your brother-in-law count by what 5? You already have Brent and Pete and now with 5 more you have a full squad. You know the saying there’s strength in numbers. As for Cory and I, we are thrilled to have Dave and Patty and the whole Wright/Prue family joining together. Rivals becoming allies.

Family is the foundation of our lives. And together we can make wonderful new memories, while remembering and honoring those from both families we have lost along the way. Remember and honor them.

Ed O'Connell was one of the most loved surf photographers in New England. A US ARMY Vietnam Veteran who saved the lives of so many ARMY Grunts in Nam in 68-69 as a Medic on board those Dust Off Hueys. He was a close and dear friend of mine.

When he passed on July 1st, 2014 I swore I'd keep his memory and legacy alive by giving him this weekly corner. He loved surfing and he loved taking photos of all the surfers.

Not just those who could really stand out. He shot every one. As long as I shall live and breathe the salt air, there will be a corner dedicated to Ed.

ED'S CORNER June 22nd, 2025



This is a photo of Mackey V during the Spring of 2008. Max was a sophomore in High School. And marriage was the furtherest thing on his mind when this photo was taken.

Now I have just a few tips that I want to share with Max and Jacquie. These tips seemed to work for me.

1. The Surf theory. Surfing is a lot like marriage. There are going to be those days when the surf is absolutely perfect. Head high to a couple of feet overhead. Just flawless. Not a drop out of place. Light offshore winds. The sun is out, the water temps and the air temps are ideal. You are getting the best rides and waves of your life. And then there are going to be those days when it’s just awful. Knee high slop. Onshore, rainy, miserable conditions. And? It’s crowded. In other words, it sucks. You will question why you are out there. It’s at times like that, you have to remember. Those good days will come again. You need to remind yourselves. This will get better. Those days of perfect days will come again. Don’t let those shitty days get to you. It’s only temporary. The good days are coming again.

2. Sacrifice. There’s always going to be another wave. There’s always going to be another deer. There’s always going to be another bird. There’s always going to be another Patriots game. Or Yoga class. But there’s only a FIRST anniversary. Or special birthday. There’s only a First time when your baby takes those first steps. Or a First birthday. You now have two families that love you and want to share that love. You both are going to have to sacrifice.
Your marriage, family, and love are worth the minor sacrifices you both will have to make.

Finally. My biggest piece of fatherly advice is this.

3. LOVE AND LAUGHTER The key to a successful loving family is the ability to make each other laugh. I know this sounds silly and simple. But it’s true. Making each other laugh is one of the things that keep marriages together. Keep each other laughing. Watch over each other. Lend a hand to those in need. Sacrifice a part of your lives to make someone else’s life better. Put a smile on someone’s face.

Hold onto each other. Walk hand in hand. Laugh and love. And may God watch over you as you start off on this wonderful journey together.
As you are fond of saying Mackey "Godspeed"

We LOVE you both.  Sleep well tonight. Because tomorrow, we are going to ROCK THE HOUSE!

Team Trump on Saturday June 21st, 2025 less than 24 hours after Max and Jacquie took their wedding vows they announced to the world about the "Spectacular" bombing they did in Iran. Using Bunker Buster 30,000lb bombs that drilled their way into the earth and blew up their Nuclear facilities. He did say "Spectacular" twice during his short (for him) speech.
Not sure if I would have used that word. Sounds more like a description of a Broadway show or Disney on Ice.



"CEASE FIRE! CEASE FIRE!" Meanwhile Ole Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was hunkered down in a bunker somewhere waiting in the dark for the smoke to clear. And speaking of waiting for the smoke to clear. I sure would have hated to have been the security guard on duty that night. Can you imagine? When those "Bunker Busters" came drilling down into the Nuke Cafeteria where Security officer Archbad Nuclemeni was sipping on his coffee watching The Family Guy on his cellphone. He had to Shiite himself. Damn. I bet his last night on the job was a memorable one. Allah Ark bar! *Note Trump is livid and wants both countries to knock it off. He's calling for an immediate ceasefire. Fingers crossed.

REST IN PEACE BRIAN WILSON OF THE BEACH BOYS



Our dear friend the late Andy Paley (He passed in November ) worked with Brian Wilson on many projects. Brian Wilson was a musical genius. And that's not just me saying that. Everyone from Paul McCartney to Bob Dylan. He was one of the most prolific songwriters of our time. Rest in Peace Brian. And Sly Stone of Sly and The Family Stone passed away.
Both of these musical icons left a legacy of hits that will never be matched by any group or artist.



Sly Stone and Brian Wilson. REST IN PEACE.

THE 17th ANNUAL HIT THE BEACH

Click on the image above to see the larger version




Two weeks ago on Flag Day President Trump had a BIG BEAUTIFUL Parade that was not very successful. He wasn't too happy about it. Now what we didn't know was that our boy The "Sheiky Sheik Khaliddy" was there as a guest. Trump typically hates the "Fake News" but he somehow doesn't mind the GITMO GAZZETTE. So Ole KSM had himself a front row seat to the Big Beautiful Parade. And he couldn't help but snicker at the lameness of the parade. Still, the Sly Dog Terrorist got himself another story for the GITMO GAZZETTE. Damn Sheiky you are getting to be a regular Clark Kent!

And so my friends, please take advantage of this weekly photo shop of the mastermind who planned 9-11 and resulted in the deaths of 3,000 innocent civilians by KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed). *Note to self -must pick up a case of used balloons at Home Depot this week.

HAPPY 69th BIRTHDAY KEVIN "DOC" GRONDIN!
Hurricane Gabrielle RI. September 1989. Photo by MEZ
That's gotta be one of the biggest waves ever captured in New England.
I remember this swell like it was yesterday. In fact, my daughter Gabrielle was named after this Hurricane. Kevin and I shared some moments during this swell back home. The "BAG" story at the Rocks was one of them. Me rupturing my ear drum at Ahwoos. And of course the Rhode Island run. Nobody has gotten more waves than Kevin in his lifetime. And clearly, nobody has gotten more tubes than Kevin. Happy 69th Doc. I have no doubt you'll still be surfing when your 79. Photo by MEZ

I kept a daily Blog on my CATCH A WAVE FOR MOLLY surf campaign, when I surfed every single day for 365 consecutive days. Click on the Banner above to read entries of my daily journey. There's some really interesting and true experiences
that happened during that year. Some of which are to this day, unexplainable. Some are just mind blowing. But all true.

I started on July 26th, 2010 and ended on July 26th, 2011.

Some rainy Sunday, pour yourself a cup or two and go through this year long journal. Pay close attention to the month of May in 2011. Read that month and let me know what you think of that.

Be forewarned, it will change you forever.

All photos taken this week unless otherwise noted.
