From Gazette editions of November, 1984:

Provincetown-Boston Airlines resumed limited operations Sunday, two weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration took away its license for major safety violations. The airline expects to be back to its full fall schedule by early next week. Service began at the end of the busy Thnksgiving weekend with a fleet of PBA’s smallest nine-passenger Cessna 402 aircraft. The airline flew its regular schedule to and from the Vineyard, but provided only a single Cessna on each flight.

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

The following letter was sent to Sen. Robert O’Leary and Rep. Timothy Madden:

I appreciate the opportunity to meet with both of you over the past few weeks to discuss the draft oceans plan. As we discussed, through this planning process, the commonwealth is setting the pace for marine spatial planning at a national level.

Some of you might know me from a couple of years back when I used to write for this column. I’m back again, this time as a senior and guest editor. This week, the sophomores discuss their feelings about a book they just read: Three Cups of Tea. In the book Greg Mortenson tries to climb K2 and doesn’t succeed. On his way down he gets lost and stumbles into a very poor village in Pakistan. The people there take him in and help him. In return, he promises to build them a school after seeing the village kids teaching themselves by writing in the dirt with sticks.
