Island Stew

From Gazette editions of May, 1936:

If Martha’s Vineyard people are desirous of adding to the number of deer now on the Island, the opportunity is at hand. Officials of the Rod and Gun Club are in receipt of a communication from Miss Katherine Foote of the Animal Rescue League, who is ready, pending the approval of local authorities and residents, to provide the Island not only with deer but elk as well. Twelve elk and eight deer are available, no cost being attached save that of transportation.

Elevated Views

From Earlier Gazette Editions:

Martha’s Vineyard has two sorts of hills, those that are real hills with impressive height, and those that merely happen to be somewhat elevated above the general locale. As to height, Peaked Hill with its 311 feet tops all others and Prospect Hill with its 302 feet has the loftiest appearance because of its location close to Vineyard Sound.

By Chance

From Art Railton’s Just a Thought of March, 1997:

Chance encounters — we’ve all had them. Meetings that are unplanned, occurring by surprise. You happen to be somewhere and suddenly find yourself talking to someone famous. The conversation is of no consequence, just grist for some name dropping. “When I was talking with Ted Kennedy about his Wianno....” That sort of thing.
