Letters to the Editor
Most roads in the U.S. are built for cars, not for pedestrians. Whether we’re happy or unhappy with this, most of us are aware of it.
Three weeks ago I went to Cape Cod Hospital for an angiogram after doing poorly on a recent stress test. It was determined that I had major blockage in three arteries, one in the rear of my heart.
Last week, I started reading the recently published book, This Changes Everything, by Naomi Klein. What an informative, disturbing eye-opener it is!
So the ferry rates are being raised. That is an accepted fact of life on the Vineyard and one of the increased expenses we pay for the lifeline to our beloved Island home (the Vineyard, not the vessel, per se).
I appreciate Timothy Johnson’s photos of the Island. Although we reside in Windsor Heights, Iowa, I am no stranger to Martha’s Vineyard as my wife, Arenda Randolph Maxwell, grew up in Oak Bluffs.
It was very nice to read Tom Rancich’s story in the Vineyard Gazette of Nov. 7 about how he came to the Island and his military career.
