For my first Barn Raiser’s Ball here on the Vineyard, I took
the “ball” to heart. I walked into the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Hall
carrying my dessert contribution to the potluck wearing a red tutu-like skirt, a black lace long sleeve top, a heavy silver belt and red cowboy boots. I was met with a sea of flannel, muck boots, clogs, a range of denim and Carhartts. The tunes of Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish seemed to dim as heads turned and I thought — what have I gotten myself into now?
“I remember that outfit,” a friend of mine said to me recently.
What does a horseshoe crab have to do with Burning Man
(the annual creativity event held in the Nevada desert), an Island psychologist and the lost wax technique? These are some of the bits and pieces that make up Sumner Z. Silverman.

Phil Regan always knew he would be an architect.
“I liked to draw,” he said. “I had always been in art classes and I liked those classes the most.”

“I knew this was it. I wanted to study architecture,” he said.
