As this summer departs, I am remembering summers long past, during the 1940s and ‘50s, that were so different from today’s Vineyard summers.

I have spent most of my adult life rehabbing. Not from drugs or alcohol, but from participating in sports.

My very first site visit as the new CEO of the Trustees of Reservations was to the beaches we own and manage on Martha’s Vineyard.

In my first boat / a small and tender / Swampscott dory / at flood tide / I have sailed by and touched / your base

Watch the legs of pedestrians walking up / the ramp of the Vineyard ferry — named the Martha's Vineyard /
