Get-well wishes to John Wightman who is sporting a sling to immobilize his shoulder following an accidental fall.
A Chorus Line – wow. I was very impressed with the performance by our 53 Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School students who participated in the production. It was very professional. Their acting, singing, and dance were truly well-rehearsed and presented impeccably to the captivated audience. I was so impressed that I returned on Saturday evening after having already attended on Friday. The entire Vineyard community should be proud of the talent the students exhibited, and the students should be very proud of their performance.
Those participating from Aquinnah included Lydia Fischer, daughter of Albert and Linda who played sassy Sheila. The only tribal member participating was Sarah Mendez Swift, daughter of Christine Swift and Jermaine Mendez, granddaughter of Sonny and Gloria Mendez as well as Bruce and Jan Swift, and great-granddaughter of Barbara Francis.
The kitchen renovation at the old Aquinnah town hall is coming along rather well. The beadboard has been preserved in the cabinets. New white tiles are in place across the wall and have inlaid wampum tiles interspersed with the plain tiles and were carefully designed by Joan LeLacheur. Before we know it, the kitchen will be ready for a grand summer social.
