Lobster Tales

From the Vineyard Gazette editions of September, 1983:

John T. Hughes joined a distinguished team of ocean scientists from around the world for a trip to the once-closed nation of China. His passport was his career here on the Island, as a leading biologist studying Homarus americanus — the American lobster. His expertise is unequalled and often sought out by those interested in the raising of lobsters. Mr. Hughes built and has managed the state lobster hatchery in Oak Bluffs since its inception in 1949.

 

 

 

Tuesday Chronicle: Summer Heat

From an August, 1984 column by William Caldwell:

Attentive reading of the letters to the editors of your favorite semiweekly newspaper compels the conclusion that everybody is sore at everybody. Beware.

Vox populi, vox Dei. So the wisdom-smitten have been telling us for the thousand years since Alcuin first said it to Charlemagne, and, O.K., it is the philosophic underpinning of the democratic form of government.

Tuesday Chronicle: Crusty Islanders

Cynthia Meisner

From a 1964 Gazette Column by Joseph Chase Allen:

There are inhabitants of the Island, especially of Vineyard Haven, who can recall a rather tumbledown but relatively large wharf far down the shore below the town’s present small boat basin.
