Flaming Pooched Eggs
From Gazette editions of June, 1935:
The scene was a Vineyard street, a parked flivver at the curb. Upon the scene appeared two pedestrians, who observed that a fire was blazing merrily in the hood of the car. One promptly ran to summon aid while the other stood near. Appeared next another car, whose driver dismounted and promptly extinguished the fire in the parked machine.
The other day I brought my son, Hardy, to his last soccer game of the spring season. Hardy is five and half now and the game of soccer still rather new to him. Dribbling the ball, passing and scoring are secondary considerations. Mostly, he likes seeing his friends.
On Tuesday, June 29, the town of Tisbury will hold a special town meeting to seek the passage of two separate, but related spending articles concerning the town’s collective bargaining agreement with the Tisbury police union. The details of the collective bargaining agreement were the result of a Joint Labor Management Committee arbitration award, which both the town and the police union agree is a fair and equitable resolution. The town of Tisbury and union encourage Tisbury residents to attend the special town meeting and support the passage of these two articles.
I am 44 years old and my folks built our place on Chappaquiddick back when I was a toddler. Last July on our annual family trip to the Island I stumbled into what turned out to be the workshop of Bob Douglas. The fisherman’s look, along with a Black Dog hat inspired me to ask if he was Mr. Douglas. He was, in fact, and graciously allowed me to introduce him to my family, including my kids, Avery and Ethan, and snap the photo. Several days later we happened into the Poole’s supply shop in Menemsha.
