STAY DRY

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

We are writing to express our strong conviction regarding the so-called beer and wine issue in Vineyard Haven. Our conviction grows out of a good many years of experience and observation in a considerable number of communities where we have been associated.

 

 

 

PRAISE FOR HOSPITAL

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

I am writing this letter on the 17th anniversary of my wife Phyllis’ surgery, and the news that she was near death. And I am writing it at a time when health care is being argued. I am also writing in praise of the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, as you open your new wing. I want you to know how much I miss that Island hospital.

SHIPWRECK SCRAPBOOK

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

Mark Lovewell’s article concerning the wreck of the Mertie B. Crowley and the four Edgartown men involved in the rescue of the crew of that doomed vessel was very interesting. Capt. Levi Jackson lived just up the street from my family home. His crew were the fathers of people I grew up with. Their exploit is legendary in Edgartown.
