As a summer visitor to the Vineyard for over a quarter-century I have always noticed the changes on the Island, but the character and the beauty of the Island have remained intact and I never thought of the Martha’s Vineyard Commission’s role. And ironically, their success is measured by the casual observer’s blissful unawareness of their work.

My ignorance is particularity noteworthy since I have been involved in urban planning for over a quarter of a century.
