Sebastian Zuleta, 17, is a senior at Central Falls High School. In the fall he will attend the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Newport before heading to Annapolis to enter the U.S. Naval Academy. He hopes to become a Navy SEAL. James McIntyre, 84, a Navy vet, is a retired cop from Somerset.
What do they have in common? Both were among about a dozen Boy Scouts from across the country selected to present the Scouts' annual "Report to the Nation" to our country's leaders in Washington, DC.

Sebastian, a recent Eagle Scout, returned last month from a trip where
he toured the U.S. Supreme Court and met with the Speaker of the House and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1948, James - then 17 - went to Washington and met with Pres. Harry Truman.
A few weeks ago, we were able to help Sebastian and James and tell their story on the front page of the Providence Journal, and a number of other outlets. Last week, Sebastian was a guest on Dan Yorke'sState of Mind Show.
We were proud to be able to tell the story of two outstanding Scouts, and in doing so, remind people why, after more than 100 years, the Boy Scouts remain such an enduring American institution.

You Would Look Good in a Video
DiPrete Engineering, one of New England's premiere engineering firms, is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. Along with creating an anniversary logo, we produced a short video for the company highlighting their work and successes, as told with testimonials from just a few of their many happy and loyal clients over the past quarter-century.
Video is a great way to liven up your website and give clients and customers a chance to talk about their experiences with your company or organization, and why they keep coming back. You can see for yourself by watching the DiPrete Engineering video here.
Intern Season
Spring (such as it is here in New England this year) means college students are thinking about summer internships. We appreciate the benefits of internships and although spots at New Harbor Group for the Summer of 2015 are full, we'll soon be on the lookout for interns during the Fall. This blog post explains why we think internships are such a good idea - for all parties.
