Thank you to all involved: the new Aquinnah sign is at the town line and looks terrific, after the previous one of nine years had deteriorated nearly beyond recognition.
Resounding applause to Dan Sauer for his arising early to assist with the construction of the new playground in December. Dan was inadvertently omitted from the list of volunteers who worked on that cold blustery morning to provide a safe place for the children of Aquinnah to play.
Edward Fantasia enjoyed a festive afternoon on Saturday as his family and friends gathered at the town hall in celebration of his graduation from Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. Graduation was a major accomplishment for Ed, who has been receiving medical care for the past six years.
William Kistner and his wife Joan returned to their home in New York on Monday after spending a few days with our grandson Noah James Manning and his parents Paul and Theresa. Saturday evening we all ventured to Offshore Ale for dinner and a celebration. Joan and Bill spent hours with yours truly while working on our family histories together and constantly marveling at our little Noah. We all look forward to their return soon.
Go, Hillary! Keep up the momentum. I will be opening the Aquinnah Clinton campaign headquarters.
Happy New Year to one and all. So many of us are starting the year with this exasperating virus that has been going around, but spring is just around the corner. May this be a year of good health, happiness and prosperity.
The holiday week has brought many back to the Vineyard for the holiday and grand family gatherings. It is nice to see people you perhaps only run into on these special occasions.
Beatrice Gentry is a patient at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital and expects to return home by the end of the week.
Gladys Widdiss is still recuperating from her recent fall; a patient at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, she anticipates returning home within a week.
