Josh Bergan West TisburyThe Island is lucky to have had such a multi-talented man in our community. He will be missed for sure.
I remember when Bob bought
Rev. Frank Hadley Murohy OSC retr Cochiti Pueblo Indian Reservation, New MexicoI remember when Bob bought the old Chase house from the Chase family in Falmouth, with whom I was friends. Bob was always available to answer any questions about wooden ships from his young fans. Bob always looked like a movie star, too! An extraordinary man! He will be missed. My grandfather, Capt. Frank Murphy, ran wood and coal over to the Vineyard from the mainland in his schooner,in the '20's - '40's.
